Learning Objective-C

I’ve been brushing up on my Objective-C lately, and want to share some really valuable resources I’ve come across.

First, I highly recommend users new to the platform read Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide. Despite dabbling with the platform for years now, I still learned quite a lot.

Build Settings

• Enable Analyze During Build
• Make sure to treat all Warnings as Errors

Blogs, Podcasts, etc

• NSHipster This is a must. Updated weekly
• objc.io Magazine that’s updated monthly. Website is free (donations encourage) and avaible on Newstand for $5 / month.
• Brent Simmons Losts of quality posts.
• Debug podcast
• iOS Dev Weekly mailing list Emails sent every Friday

Coding Style

Again, be sure to read this if you’re new to the platform. Are you prefixing your classes to avoid namespace clashing?
