It explains the key concepts of Objective-C in a clear, easy to understand manner, and also provides detailed coverage of its more complex features. In addition, the book includes numerous practical examples--code excerpts and complete applications--that demonstrate how to apply in code what you’re learning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an exploration of Objective-C's basic features and key language elements. After reviewing the basics, it proceeds with an in-depth examination of the Objective-C dynamic programming features and runtime system. Next the book covers the Foundation Framework, the base layer of APIs that can be used for any Objective-C program. Finally, new and advanced features of Objective-C are introduced and shown how they make the Objective-C language even more powerful and expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach topic is covered thoroughly and is packed with the details you need to develop Objective-C code effectively. The most important features are given in-depth treatment, and each chapter contains numerous examples that demonstrate both the power and the subtlety of Objective-C. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart reading\u003cem\u003e Pro Objective-C\u003c\/em\u003e and begin developing high-quality, professional apps on the OS X and iOS platforms using the Objective-C programming language!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e    What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eObjective-C fundamentals and key language elements \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eObjective-C runtime system \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFoundation Framework APIs \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eObjective-C advanced language features \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eXcode Essentials \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDebugging with LLDB \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003eWho this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     This book is geared towards intermediate to advanced developers who already have some Objective-C experience and want pro-level coverage of the language, including advanced Objective-C features, recent additions to the language, and practical usage of its core frameworks and APIs.
