Now that we've got this newsgroup going, what do you think of
a monthly posting? Possible topics would include:
1. What is Objective-C?
2. How is Objective-C different from C and C++.
3. A small example Objective-C program.
4. What is late binding and how to take advantage of it.
5. Class libraries and Objective-C.
6. What is a Model-View-Controller (MVC)?
7. List of books and articles on Objective-C.
8. List of vendors selling Objective-C and contact points
(not limited to the USA). Included in the list are the
machines and operating systems the vendor supports.
Some comment needs to be made on differences in class
libraries, development environments (and language??).
9. What is GNU Objective-C.
10. List of vendors/sources for Objective-C tools/utilities
(class libraries, development tools, packages that
interface to Objective-C).
This is just a start. I am NOT volunteering to write or maintain
a monthly posting (I'm up to my eyeballs already in work and am not the
most qualified to comment on any of this) -- I just like to stir up
trouble for others :-). Perhaps someone could step forward (perhaps
from Stepstone?) and write and maintain something like this?

Great idea. Some of us are very new to objective-c and starting in the middle with little or no introduction is very difficult.

Some of us are very new to objective-c and starting in the middle with little or no introduction is very difficult. and then I say: why don't we wait a little bit to find out what the recurrent themes in this group turn out to be. so far there has hardly been enough discussion to justify a frequently asked questions list. perhaps better would be for someone to post a question such as "what are the main features of objective c?" only if this question is repeated often should it be codified into a monthly posting. by the way, just to be a little constructive, what are the main features of objective c? -- ted@nmsu.edu +---------+ | In this | | style | |__10/6___|

Could we begin with a listing of the available Objective-C compilers and their prices? Omar Foda
