Product Description:
Take your coding skills to the next level with this extensive guide to Objective–C, the native programming language for developing sophisticated software applications for Mac OS X. Objective–C is a powerful, object–oriented extension of C, making this book the perfect follow–up to Dave Mark’s best–selling Learn C on the Mac, Mac OS X Edition. Whether you’re an experienced C programmer or you’re coming from a different language such as C++ or Java, leading Mac experts Mark Dalrymple and Scott Knaster show you how to harness the powers of Objective–C in your applications!
- A complete course on the basics of Objective–C using Apple’s free Xcode tools
- An introduction to object–oriented programming
- Comprehensive coverage of inheritance, composition, object initialization, categories, protocols, memory management, and organizing source files
- A brief tour of Cocoa’s Foundation framework and AppKit
- A helpful “learning curve” guide for non–C developers
What you’ll learn - Learn Objective–C programming, the gateway to programming your Mac or iPhone.
- Write applications for the Mac OS X interface, the cleanest user–interface around.
- Understand variables and how to design your own data structures.
- Work with the file system.
- Connect to data sources and the Internet.
Who is this book for?
For anyone wanting to learn to program native applications in Mac OS X, including developers new to the Mac, developers new to Objective–C, or students entirely new to programming.

This book provides a really good intro to Objective-C. It also gives some info on Xcode and Cocoa.

The information is also concise enough to not be overwhelming. I wish I'd had this book when I was starting out.

I especially like the sidebars that summarize and define important terms as the book unfolds. If one followed this book, one would easily go from a beginner to a reasonable Objective-C programmer almost effortlessly... or, as the book says, "In this chapter, you wrote your first two Objective ...
