<P style="MARGIN: 0px"> <B> <I> <B>Programming in Objective-C</B> </I> </B>is a relatively 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.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">This unique approach to learning, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes <B> <I>Programming in Objective-C</I> </B> ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study. While the Objective-C language itself has not gone through many changes since the introduction of Objective-C 2.0, the Apple development tools that programmers use for Objective-C development on the Mac and on iOS continue to change significantly from year to year. This edition has been fully updated for the significant changes in Xcode 5, OS X Mavericks, and iOS 7.</P>
