1. Accustoming Yourself to Objective-C
Objective-C brings object-oriented features to C through an entirely new syntax. Often described as verbose, Objective-C syntax makes use of a lot of square brackets and isn’t shy about using extremely long method names. The resulting source code is very readable but is often difficult for C++ or Java developers to master.
Writing Objective-C can be learned quickly but has many intricacies to be aware of and features that are often overlooked. Similarly, some features are abused or not fully understood, yielding code that is difficult to maintain or to debug. This chapter covers fundamental topics; subsequent chapters cover specific areas of the language and associated frameworks.
