[comp.object] How Do You Learn To Program In Objective C?

andychoi@ocf.berkeley.edu (Andrew Choi) (08/24/90)

First of all, my apology for cross-posting to this newsgroup.
Comp.lang.objective-c is probably the more appropriate newsgroup, but my
site does not subscribe to it (or it hasn't been established yet).

Now the main question .....

How do people learn to program in Objective C?  There is no book in
the market today teaching the language except Mr. Cox's
_OOP_An_Evolutionary_Approach_, which does not really teach you the language.

I really want to learn the language.  Please help.  Thanks so much.

How I learned is to read the manuals provided by StepStone
with the Objective-C compiler.  These manuals I found to be
very well written (one of the best manual sets I've seen)
and I was able to write Objective-C code within 45 minutes
of first cracking open the manuals (it took much longer to
write my first C++ program).  If you don't have the manuals,
call StepStone at (203) 426-1875 (...and say hi to Ann Wilkie
for me).
