Written by bestselling author and popular trainer Stephen Kochan, Programming in Objective-C is a clear, step-by-step tutorial on the fundamentals of Objective-C programming for Apple's iOS and Mac platforms.

Programming in Objective-C makes no assumptions about prior experience with either object-oriented programming languages generally or with the C language specifically. Both beginners and experienced programmers alike can use this book to quickly and effectively learn the fundamentals of Objective-C programming. 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 unique approach to learning Objective-C, combined with an abundance of complete code examples, clear diagrams and tables, exercises at the end of each chapter, and an author-supported readers web forum, makes Programming in Objective-C ideally suited for either self-study or classroom use.

The fourth edition of Programming in Objective-C includes several critical additions and enhancements:

Updates to cover the latest versions of Xcode (4.2) and the iOS SDK (iOS5)

Detailed discussion of how to use Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) to improve and simplify memory management in Objective-C programming

improvements in key areas to incorporate reader feedback and suggestions

Programming in Objective-C, Fourth Edition Updated for iOS 5 and ARC Programming in Objective-C is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming for Apple's iOS and Mac platforms. The book makes no assumptions about prior experience with object-oriented programming languages or with the C language (which Objective-C is based upon). Because of this, both beginners 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 C programming language. This unique approach to learning, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes Programming in Objective-C ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study. The fourth edition of this book has been updated to cover the significant changes that first appeared in iOS 5 and Xcode 4.2, including the use of Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) to improve and simplify memory management in Objective-C programs.
