Great Objective-C Resources
By Jason Michael Perry • Aug 2nd, 2008 • Category: Headlines, Objective-C
If you do not have experience programming in C, Objective-C can be a hard language to learn.
Something about it and its very unique syntax (and memory management - remember alloc and dealloc) takes a while to fully, grasp.
As you may know I’m busy writing a new class for Fig Leaf on Objective-C development for the iPhone. The class is currently scheduled (as a a beta) in late September.
During my busy days and nights writing I have searched the web for the best Objective-C material I can find. The community (at least before the iPhone) was very tiny so getting resources can be tough.
To help I’ve included a list of my recommendations. These books, blogs, web sites, and videos have been an important tool and can be an huge asset to all of you as well. Hope this helps!
