Objective C
I try to learn a new language every 1 to 2 years. It helps keep my brain plastic and opens up new technology domains. So my language for 2009 is Objective C 2.0.
I’m brand new at this language, but I do have some words of advice for others learning it.
Screencasts
I’m using two series of screencasts to learn Objective C.
Coming from a Ruby background, I started with the “Objective C for Rubyists”. However I prefer the “Coding in Objective C” series.
Books
I sadly don’t have any good books on Objective C.
I’ve pre-ordered Cocoa Programming and Core Data from Pragmatic Programmers.
There is a book listed on Amazon from Pragmatic Programmers called Programming Objective C 2.0 that I hope will lead me from just Objective C CLI tools to Cocoa Programming.
Goals
My hope out of all is this is that I will learn Objective C.0 and eventually iPhone programming. This will hopefully lead to an iPhone app that will pay for an iMac. :)
