Re: Objective-C manual

[Benedikt Stefansson]

Hi,

Objective-C is a simple superset of C, and for a problem such as the one you
describe, check out any textbook on C. All you need to know to move from C to
Objective-C is how an object's methods (the object oriented equivalent of a
function) are declared and how you call methods. The gory internals of
Objective-C methods are pure C code (of course excluding calls to other object's
methods!)

To learn basic Objective-C syntax you can check out the links under Objective-C
resources on the Swarm web pages. There are a couple of "all you need to know in
5 minutes" guides listed there. Until recently Apple gave people access to the
best Objective-C manual, which was originally written by NeXT staff; There was
some talk here the other day that this link was no longer working but maybe
someone knows better than I.
