Publisher Description
This is the eBook version of the printed book.
Want to write applications for iOS or the Mac? This introduction to programming and the Objective-C language is the first step on your journey from someone who uses apps to someone who writes them.
Based on Big Nerd Ranch's legendary Objective-C Bootcamp, this book covers C, Objective-C, and the common programming idioms that enable developers to make the most of Apple technologies.
This is the only introductory-level book written by Aaron Hillegass, one of the most experienced and authoritative voices in the iOS and Cocoa community.
Compatible with Xcode 4.2, iOS 5, and Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), this guide features short chapters and engaging style to keep you motivated and moving forward. At the same time, Aaron’s determination that you understand what you’re doing—or at least why you’re doing it—encourages you to think critically as a programmer.

Absolutely brilliant
I knew C before, but decided not to skip anything. Seems I didn’t know all that much, and this book helped me fill in the gaps.
Only slight moan is that the code snipets are written in such a way that when reading with VoiceOver (which I do full time), there’s something called a “0 width space” between each character, making reading code blocks a bit tricky
Other than that, loving the book!
Insanely great!
I've battled through online tutorials on and off for about 18 months and had to walk away because I found it too frustrating. I started "Objective-C programming: The Big nerd Ranch Guide" last night and I'm already doing Chapter 5 and fully understand everything so far with no temper tantrums. This book is a must for people looking at getting started with programming for iOS, I highly recommend it!
