Objective-C has become the standard programming language for application development under Mac OS X. It is a powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that is based on the C programming language. Objective -C is widely available across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems.
Programming in Objective-C provides the beginner programmer with a complete introduction to the Objective-C language. Unlike other books on Objective-C, it does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages. By using many complete examples and taking a step-by-step approach, the book teaches the reader how to write Objective-C programs on any system that supports the Objective-C language, as well as how to use the Foundation framework to develop portable programs that will run on any system supporting Objective-C.
Programming in Objective-C is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming. The book makes no assumption about prior experience with object-oriented programming languages or with the C language (upon which Objective-C is based). And because of this, both novice and experienced programmers alike can use this book to quickly and effectively learn the fundamentals of Objective-C. Readers can also learn the concepts of object-oriented programming without having to first learn all of the intricacies of the underlying procedural language (C). This approach, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes it ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study. Growth is expected in this language. At the January 2003 MacWorld, it was announced that there are 5 million Mac OS X users and each of their boxes ships with Objective-C built in.
