<b> Programming in Objective-C, Fifth Edition </b> <br> <b>Updated for OS X Mountain Lion, iOS 6, and Xcode 4.5 </b> <br> <br> <i>Programming in Objective-C</i> is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming for Apple's iOS and OS X platforms. <br> <br>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. <br> <br>This unique approach to learning, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes <i>Programming in Objective-C</i> ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study. <br> <br>This edition has been fully updated to incorporate new features in Objective-C programming introduced with Xcode 4.4 (OS X Mountain Lion) and Xcode 4.5 (iOS 6.) <br> <br>€œThe best book on any programming language that I€ve ever read.
