Programming in Sw  ift is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the Swift language and its use in developing iOS and OS X applications. The book makes no assumptions about prior experience with programming languages, or with Swift's precursor, Objective-C. Because of this, both beginners and experienced programmers alike can use this book to quickly and effectively learn the fundamentals of Swift programming.     Readers can also learn the concepts of contemporary object-oriented programming without having to first learn all of the intricacies of a procedural language like C. This approach, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes it ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study.

THE #1 BESTSELLING BOOK ON OBJECTIVE-C 2.0 Programming in Objective-C 2.0 provides the new programmer a complete, step-by-step introduction to Objective-C, the primary language used to develop applications for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS X platforms. The book does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages, and it includes many detailed, practical examples of how to put Objective-C to use in your everyday iPhone/iPad or Mac OS X programming tasks. A powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that’s based on the C programming language, Objective-C is widely available not only on OS X and the iPhone/iPad platform but across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems. The second edition of this book thoroughly covers the latest version of the language, Objective-C 2.0. And it shows not only how to take advantage of the Foundation framework’s rich built-in library of classes but also how to use the iPhone SDK to develop programs designed for the iPhone/iPad platform.

Programming in Objective-C is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming for the iOS and Mac platforms. The book makes no assumptions about prior experience with object-oriented programming languages or with the C language (which Objective-C is based upon). Because of this, both beginners and experienced programmers alike can use this book to quickly and effectively learn the fundamentals of Objective-C. Readers can also learn the concepts of object-oriented programming without having to first learn all of the intricacies of the underlying procedural language (C). This unique approach to learning, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes Programming in Objective-C ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study. While the Objective-C language itself has gone through relatively minor changes since the introduction of Objective-C 2.0, the Apple development tools that programmers use for Objective-C development on the Mac and on iOS have changed significantly in a very short period of time. The third edition of Programming in Objective-C includes numerous updates and improvements throughout the book: <li>Improved organization for some chapters</li> <li>Incorporation of feedback and suggestions from members of the author's forum for readers, including more detailed descriptions for some of the examples</li> <li>A new introduction to blocks with examples</li> <li>Replacement of deprecated methods with newer methods</li> <li>Updated diagrams and steps for using Xcode 4</li>
