Welcome to Learn Objective- C on the Mac! This book is designed to teach you
the basics of the Objective- C language. Objective- C is a superset of C and
is the language used by many (if not most) applications that have a true
Mac OS X look and feel.
This book teaches you the Objective- C language and introduces you to its
companion, Apples Cocoa toolkit. Cocoa is written in Objective- C and contains
all the elements of the Mac OS X user interface, plus a whole lot more. Once
you learn Objective- C in this book, youll be ready to dive into Cocoa with
a full- blown project or another book such as Learn Cocoa on the Mac or Beginning
iPhone Development, both by Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche (Apress 2009).
In this chapter, well let you know the basic information you need before you get
started with this book. Well also serve up a bit of history about Objective- C and
give you a thumbnail sketch of whats to come in future chapters.
