I think this book excellent at explaining the concepts and taking you from novice to understanding and applying Core Animation techniques in your next application. If you are new to Cocoa and the Mac then I would not recommend this be the first book you read, but for anyone who is serious about Cocoa development, then this book should be on your bookshelf.

Bill Dudney explains that putting a movie into a view has been possible for while now but we could not put controls (like buttons etc) over that movie, until Core Animation. In fact it is possible now to have a quartz composer composition running in the background, movies playing on top of that and animating in 3d space and controls all on top of that. Crazy stuff that…
