Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide

Writer:
Published: 28 October 2011

Want to write applications for iOS or the Mac? This introduction to programming and the Objective-C language is the first step on your journey from someone who uses apps to someone who writes them.

Based on Big Nerd Ranch's legendary Objective-C Bootcamp, this book covers C, Objective-C, and the common programming idioms that enable developers to make the most of Apple technologies.

This is the only introductory-level book written by Aaron Hillegass, one of the most experienced and authoritative voices in the iOS and Cocoa community.

Compatible with Xcode 4.2, iOS 5, and Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), this guide features short chapters and engaging style to keep you motivated and moving forward. At the same time, Aaron's determination that you understand what you're doing-or at least why you're doing it-encourages you to think critically as a programmer.

Here are some of the topics covered:

  • Programming basics: variables, loops, functions, etc.

  • Objects, classes, methods, and messages

  • Pointers, addresses, and memory management

  • Using Xcode, Apple's documentation, and other tools

  • Classes from the Foundation framework

  • ARC and retain cycles

  • Properties

  • Blocks

  • Categories

  • Delegation, target-action, and notification design patterns
