About the Authors
Dave Mark is a long-time Mac developer and author who has written a number of books on Macintosh development including Learn C on the Macintosh, the Macintosh Programming Primer series, and Ultimate Mac Programming. His blog can be found at www.davemark.com.

Jack Nutting has been using Cocoa since the olden days, long before it was even called Cocoa. He's used Cocoa and its predecessors to develop software for a wide range of industries and applications including gaming, graphic design, online digital distribution, telecommunications, finance, publishing, and travel. When he's not working on Mac or iPhone projects, he's developing web applications with Ruby on Rails. Jack is a passionate proponent of Objective-C and the Cocoa frameworks. At the drop of a hat, he will speak at length on the virtues of dynamic dispatch and runtime class manipulations to anyone who'll listen (and even to some who won’t). He blogs from time to time at www.nuthole.com.

Jeff LaMarche is a long-time Mac and Apple iPhone developer. With over 20 years of programming experience, he’s written on Cocoa and Objective-C for MacTech Magazine, as well as articles for Apple’s Developer Technical Services website. He has experience working in enterprise software, both as a developer for PeopleSoft starting in the late 1990s, and then later as an independent consultant.
