Programming in Objective-C Description
Updated for OS X 10.9 Mavericks, iOS 7, and Xcode 5Programming in Objective-C is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming for Apple's iOS and OS X 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.
This edition has been fully updated to incorporate new Objective-C features and technologies introduced with Xcode 5, iOS 7, and Mac OS X Mavericks.
“The best book on any programming language that I’ve ever read. If you want to learn Objective-C, buy it.”—Calvin Wolcott
“An excellent resource for a new programmer who wants to learn Objective-C as their first programming language—a woefully underserved market.”—Pat Hughes

A lot of examples in the book illustrating the concepts of object oriented programming in Objective C. You do not need to have prior programming experience to understand the concepts. A little bit of C programming knowledge would certainly help, but not necessary. This book is designed for people without programming experience. I strongly recommend readers to try out all the examples using a Mac computer running Xcode 5. You would have more pleasant learning experience. If your goal is to do iOS programming for iPhone/iPad/iMac, this is a good book to start.
By Ken Hsieh
As a Mechanical EngineerI knew FORTRAN and C very well and had dabbled a little in C++. When it came time to write iOS apps, I knew I had to clear the hurdle of learning Objective-C and it's syntax before any of the sample iOS code I was looking at made any sense.
This book was (and the previous edition) a great way to clear that hurdle. I spent about a month working the exercises in the book in my spare time. The last chapter of the book has you bringing all of what you had learned together to make an iOS app (fraction calculator) and expanding it's capabilities a little by little.
Shortly after completing the exercises I was able to write a couple of rudimentary apps on my own. I can now focus on the features of the app, and leverage what I have learned from this book to execute what I have in my head so to speak.
