At the end of the course delegates will be able to undersatand object-oriented concept and will understand the Objective-C programming. In addition to this, the delegates will be able to develop client / Server application in distributed environment.
Pre-requisites
No programming skills required, but having knowledge in C, C++ or Java will be advantageous.
Introduction
The Objective-C language is a simple computer language designed to enable sophisticated object-oriented programming. Objective-C is defined as a small but powerful set of extensions to the standard ANSI C language. Its additions to C are mostly based on Smalltalk, one of the first object-oriented programming languages. Objective-C is designed to give C full object-oriented programming capabilities, and to do so in a simple and straightforward way.
Most object-oriented development environments consist of several parts:
An object-oriented programming language
A library of objects
A suite of development tools
A runtime environment
This document is about the first component of the development environment—the programming language. It fully describes the version of the Objective-C language released in Mac OS X v10.6 and iOS 4.0. This document also provides a foundation for learning about the second component, the Objective-C application.
