Learn Objective-C on the Mac: For OS X and iOS, 2/e (Paperback)

Learn to write apps for some of today's hottest technologies, including the iPhone and iPad (using iOS), as well as the Mac (using OS X). It starts with Objective-C, the base language on which the native iOS software development kit (SDK) and the OS X are based. Learn Objective-C on the Mac: For OS X and iOS, Second Edition updates a best selling book and is an extensive, newly updated guide to Objective-C.

Objective-C is a powerful, object-oriented extension of C, making this update the perfect follow-up to Dave Mark’s bestselling Learn C on the Mac. Whether you’re an experienced C programmer or you’re coming from a different language such as C++ or Java, leading Mac experts Scott Knaster and Waqar Malik show how to harness the power of Objective-C in your apps!

• A complete course on the basics of Objective-C using Apple’s newest Xcode tools
• An introduction to object-oriented programming
• Comprehensive coverage of new topics like blocks, GCD, ARC, class extensions, as well as inheritance, composition, object initialization, categories, protocols, memory management, and organizing source files
• An introduction to building user interfaces using what is called the UIKit
• A primer for non-C programmers to get off the ground even faster

What you’ll learn

• Learn Objective-C programming, the gateway to programming your iPhone, iPad or Mac
• Write apps for the iOS and/or OS X interfaces, the cleanest user-interfaces around
• Understand variables and how to design your own data structures
• Work with the new Objective-C features now available in this update like blocks, automated reference counting (ARC) and class extensions
• Work with new tools available like Clang static analyzer and Grand Central Dispatch (GCD)
• Undertand UIKit and how to build simple user interfaces easily and effectively
• Explore using the latest Xcode
