A collection of notes written by me while developing KegCop

Definitions

  • Objective-C - a collection of syntactic extensions to the C programming language to add objects.
  • Application Life Cycle - main() β†’ UIApplicationMain() β†’ UIApplication Object β†’ event loop listening to user input
  • Protocol - is a set methods an object agrees to implement.

Fun Facts

  • Objective-C is a dynamically linked language.
  • There are over 3000 methods and more than 200 classes available in iOS.
  • XIB is pronounced zib
  • NSObject - the root class of the entire class hierarchy
  • .mm - denotes an Objective-C++ file.

Useful Links

Code Examples

Hello, World! - Objective-C
#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("hello, world\n"); return 0; }

Hello, World! - C++
#include 
int main()
{
 std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
}
Hello, World! - Java
public class Hello {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 System.out.println("Hello, world!");
 }
}

Comparing Objective-C message sending to other OO languages

  • C++: someObject->doSomething();
