Welcome to Learn Objective-C on the Mac! This book is designed to teach you the basics of the
Objective-C language. Objective-C is a superset of C and is the language used by many (if not
most) applications that have a true OS X or iOS look and feel.
In addition to presenting Objective-C, this book introduces you to its companion, Apple’s Cocoa
(for OS X) and Cocoa Touch (for iOS) toolkits. Cocoa and Cocoa Touch are written in Objective-C
and contain all the elements of the OS X and iOS user interfaces, plus a whole lot more. Once
you learn Objective-C, you’ll be ready to dive into Cocoa with a full-blown project or another
book such as Learn Cocoa on the Mac (Apress 2010) or Beginning iOS 5 Development (Apress
2011).
In this chapter, we’ll let you know the basic information you need before you get started with
Objective-C itself. We’ll also serve up a bit of history about Objective-C and give you a thumbnail
sketch of what’s to come in future chapters. |
