Has anyone used the Pragmatic Programmers screencast series Coding in Objective-C 2.0?
They look good, but I don't know if I could get just as much value out of a text book or other web links.
A:
At $5.00 a video your not going to find "as much value out of a text book" books would cover a lot more information though.
edit:
I haven't watched the screen casts, but If you have programming expereinece, getting a book (maybe even their book?) would be what I'd recomend instead. By just looking at the topics covered and the time given I can't see the screen casts (the two that are available I mean) going into that much detail

I guess I should have asked if it is worth the $5.00.

I bought both screen casts. I'm neither a starving student nor a starving out of work developer, so $5 is effectively free.
A screen cast can cover material fairly quickly because there's no need to stop and describe what's going on; the viewer gets to watch every step. There's none of the awkwardness you find in books that have to use words to describe every step in great detail.
So yes, I found them to be worth the $5 and I'll buy any more that come out.

Thanks. That's what I was looking for, someone who had watched them.

I do have them as well, very good tutorials, lot's of explanation not only on how to do stuff but why. :)
