My biggest beef with Apple isn't having to learn objective C, it's that you
have to use a mac to program it on. I think if I had a mac I'd already be
learning the language, because I really want a flight sim on iOS, even if
it's just a simple one like Heli is. Oh well, I may very well be getting a
mac in the fall and, um, have to put my money where my mouth--um, fingers
are.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Who's afraid of Objective C?
I'm so glad I can look at that and have it not look like greek to me.
Objective C still frightens me, but... well... Gotta jump in some time
right? I think what is more frightening is Xcode itself. But take
some time to learn it first guys. then complain.

Hey you guys, I say this with love, but if y'all would put the energy
you're
spending complaining about learning Objective C into actually starting to
learn Objective C then I think you'll find that it's really not that hard!
*warm smile*
Just to give a really quick intro to the language;
• It uses methods or blocks of code just like C, C++ and other C style
languages.
• An Objective C method definition might look like:
-(void) doSomething {
// Doing things here
}
the minus sign means that this method can be called on each object of the
class where this method is defined. If there were a plus sign instead, the
method could be called on the class itself.
The void in parentheses means that the method returns or generates
nothing.
then we have the method's name and the two braces which enclose the actual
code that gets executed when you call the method.
• Methods in Objective C are called as in:
[self doSomething];
The call is surrounded in brackets. and the self in the first part of the
call refers to the object or class where the method is declared. Lastly,
we
have the method name itself and then the semicolon which ends the line
just
like in the C languages.
Hope all this makes sense and allows you to start reading some Objective C
syntax to start to tell what is happening.
Smiles,
Cara :)
