Objective-C is today's fastest growing programming language, at least in part due to the popularity of Apple's Mac, iPhone and iPad. Beginning Objective-C is for you if you have some programming experience, but you're new to the Objective-C programming language and you want a modern, and fast, way forwards to your own coding projects.
Beginning Objective-C offers you a modern programmer's perspective on Objective-C, and gets you programming as you know you can, in this important language. It gets you rolling and fast into the sound fundamentals of Objective-C, in order to do things right - no matter what projects you plan to build yourself with the language. You'll soon find yourself building a fairly complex Objective-C based application, and mastering the language ready for your own projects. If you're new to programming altogether, then Apress has other Objective-C books for you such as our Learning and Absolute Beginner titles - otherwise, let your existing skills ramp you fast forwards in Objective-C with Beginning Objective-C so that you can start building your own applications quickly.
