Hello,
is there anybody out there who can tell me what the book
"The Art Of Computer Programming" by Donald E. Knuth is all about?
I followed a threat in another forum and many programmers agreed that these books were great.
So, what are these books about. What do they teach me. What knowledge do they expect me to have. I mean, is it okay if I'm good at C and I'm into OOP a little, or are the requirements higher?
I'd also like to know if there are other good books about OOP and/or Obj C that you could recommend me!?
I already read Aaron Hillegass' book and I saw that there are a few more at amazon right now. Are there any other books about Cocoa that are worth reading or are even better?
Thanks to all repliers!

Here's a list of all books published for Mac OS X Cocoa Programming to date: - Building Cocoa Applications - O'Reilly & Associates
- Cocoa Programming - Sams
- Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X - Addison Wesley Professional
- Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X - Peachpit Press
- Learning Cocoa with Objective-C - O'Reilly & Associates
- Learning Cocoa - O'Reilly & Associates
- Mac OS X Developer's Guide - Morgan Kaufmann Publishers
If you jump over to the CocoaBooks page on the CocoaDev site, you'll find a description of each book along with reveiws and ratings by fellow developers.

Don't forget about Cocoa Programming for Dummies.  Coming in February 2003... about 450 pages and $20.99 on Amazon.com now.

DOH! You beat me to it! I came back here to add this to the list above and found you already mentioned it. I just discovered this book yesterday. Shocked the heck out of me, I NEVER expected to see a Cocoa Programming for Dummies book. I guess that sort of says something about the legitimacy of Cocoa and Objective-C, for if there wasn't enough market for it there would have never been a Dummies book on the subject. Cool!

The three volumes in The Art of Computer Programming were originally published in the late 60's and early 70's. The first volume is Fundamental Algorithms, the second is Seminumerical Algorithms, and the third is Sorting and Searching. I think Knuth is currently working on a fourth volume.
These books do not deal with a specific computer language or programming framework. Instead, they describe the mathematics and logic that form the basis of computer programming. Most university computer science textbooks use Knuth as a reference, so even if you are studying comp-sci, reading Knuth is probably unnecessary.
