Objective-C is the language for developing iPhone and iPad applications. This class teaches the fundamentals of the programming language. It includes an introduction to XCode, the software development tool for Objective-C; c++ underlying concepts; program control flow and functions; object-oriented programming concepts and practice, including object handling within Objective-C; memory management in Objective-C; and an in-depth review of the Foundation classes.
Course Objectives
- Learn how to use XCode for developing Objective-C programs.
- Learn how to manage variables and build your own functions in Objective-C.
- Learn the fundamental concepts of object oriented programming, and how to create and use objects in Objective-C.
- Understand the memory management model for Objective-C, and options for the developer.
- Learn about the Foundation classes for data manipulation, and their use in Objective-C programming.
Prerequisites
Experience in the following areas is required:
- Minimal programming experience, including use of variables within a program
- Some Object-Oriented programming experience will be beneficial.
Course Benefits
Upon class completion students will gain a strong foundation and understanding for the Objective C language. Students can then take the next step towards learning XCode which will help in developing Mobile Apps for iPhone.
