Ry's Objective-C Tutorial

This book serves as both a concise quick-reference and a comprehensive introduction for newcomers to the Objective-C programming language. It walks through each language feature step-by-step, explaining complex programming concepts via hands-on examples.

Objective-C is one of the native programming languages for Apple’s iOS and OS X operating systems. It’s a compiled, general-purpose language capable of building everything from command line utilities to animated GUIs to domain-specific libraries. By the end of this tutorial, you'll understand basic language constructs, important memory-management techniques, and many of the built-in Objective-C data types like NSNumber, NSArray, and NSDate.

This tutorial focuses solely on the programming language, rather than on iOS or Mac App development. You won't walk away with the ability to create your own iPad apps, but you will be incredibly prepared to continue down that path. Also be sure to check out Ry's Cocoa Tutorial if you're interested in Mac App development.

Functional C

Functional C teaches how to program in C, assuming that the student has already learnt how to formulate algorithms in a functional style. By using this as a starting point, the student will become a better C programmer, capable of writing programs that are easier to comprehend, maintain and that avoid common errors and pitfalls. All program code that appears in Functional C is available on our ftp server - see below. How to find a code fragment?

To access a particular code fragment, use the book to locate the section or subsection in which the code fragment appears, then click on that section in the code index . This will open the appropriate page at the beginning of the section. The code fragment may then be selected using the copy/paste facilities of your browser. Each chapter is represented by a separate page, so as an alternative to the procedure above you can use the save-as menu of your browser to up-load all code fragments in a particular chapter at once. Also available on our ftp server is errata for Functional C.

Object-Oriented Programming and the Objective-C Language

 Objective-C is implemented as set of extensions to the C language. This book introduces both the object-oriented model that Objective-C is based upon and fully documents the language. It concentrates on the Objective-C extensions to C, not on the C language itself.

The Objective-C 2.0 Programming Language

Objective-C is a small but powerful set of extensions to the standard ANSI C language. Objective-C is designed to give C full object-oriented programming capabilities in a straightforward way.

This book is about the first component of the development environment — the programming language. It fully describes the Objective-C language, and provides a foundation for learning about the second component, the Mac OS X Objective-C application frameworks—collectively known as Cocoa.
