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.
This is a clear, well-written, and complete introduction to the Objective-C programming environment. It covers all aspects of the language, and assumes absolutely no prior knowledge of C or any other programming language, for that matter. I read it after I became reasonably proficient in AppleScript, which I believe helped (in my case), but I also think that anyone interested in learning this would have just as positive of an experience.
It does NOT go into XCode at all, or any other GUI programming topics.
