So, for a while now I’ve been itching to really dive into iPhone development. In the past I’ve only tinkered and played around, but I decided – it might be time to get serious. I’ve used Titanium Appcelorator enough to see that it’s amazing for jumping right into creating an iPhone app, but I always thought in the back of my mind that I really wanted to learn to use the iPhone SDK and to discover the full capabilities. The only drawback, I don’t have any experience with programming in C. So, after lots of google searches and running through a few tutorials I decided to give the iOS Reference Library a go – and I found a great article I’d like to share with you all. Learning Objective-C: A Primer. It starts of by explaining different extensions you’ll encounter and then moving right into Classes/Methods/Properties/Strings and Protocols/etc.
My first reading through already has me feeling as though I have a great foundational understanding of Objective-C and how it might be different from say, PHP. I’m great about starting new projects and losing interest or moving on to another project because I get excited about it, but I’m hoping to make enough progress with learning Objective-C that it will become yet another tool in my development toolbox.
Update:
Just wanted to say – Learn Objective-C at CocoaDevCentral.com is the best, clearest and most easy to follow tutorial I’ve read about Objective-C thus far.
