THE #1 BESTSELLING BOOK ON OBJECTIVE-C 2.0 Programming in Objective-C 2.0 provides the new programmer a complete, step-by-step introduction to Objective-C, the primary language used to develop applications for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS X platforms.   The book does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages, and it includes many detailed, practical examples of how to put Objective-C to use in your everyday iPhone/iPad or Mac OS X programming tasks. A powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that’s based on the C programming language, Objective-C is widely available not only on OS X and the iPhone/iPad platform but across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems.   The second edition of this book thoroughly covers the latest version of the language, Objective-C 2.0. And it shows not only how to take advantage of the Foundation framework’s rich built-in library of classes but also how to use the iPhone SDK to develop programs designed for the iPhone/iPad platform.   Table of Contents    1    Introduction Part I: The Objective-C 2.0 Language     2    Programming in Objective-C      3    Classes, Objects, and Methods     4    Data Types and Expressions     5    Program Looping     6    Making Decisions     7    More on Classes     8    Inheritance     9    Polymorphism, Dynamic Typing, and Dynamic Binding   10    More on Variables and Data Types   11    Categories and Protocols   12    The Preprocessor   13    Underlying C Language Features Part II: The Foundation Framework   14    Introduction to the Foundation Framework   15    Numbers, Strings, and Collections   16    Working with Files   17    Memory Management   18    Copying Objects   19    Archiving Part III: Cocoa and the iPhone SDK   20    Introduction to Cocoa    21    Writing iPhone Applications Part IV: Appendixes   A    Glossary   B    Objective-C 2.0 Language Summary   C    Address Book Source Code  D    Resources Read Less
