An introduction to Objective-C If you are serious about becoming an iOS developer then it is imperative that you learn Objective-C which is an extension of the C language. If you already have experience with an object-oriented language then learning Objective-C should be quite straightforward. Never written a line of code? If you’ve never written a line of code and are interested in developing iOS apps then I would highly recommend picking up either of these books: Programming in Objective-C or Cocoa Book Basic Syntax for a Class Most object oriented languages have something called a class which encapsulates data and provides access to it. All classes are declared in two parts: .h – contains the interface which is a declaration of the class structure .m – contains the implementation of all the methods The member variables by default are set to private hence you have to write accessor methods which are your getter and setter methods. Methods There are two types of methods in Objective-C: class methods and instance methods.
Installing iOS SDK and Xcode on Windows 7 | The iPod touch Weblog - Apple News, Tricks, and Themes Update 2: August 17, 2011 The TechExxpert guide has been updated to fully allow Xcode 4.1 to work. Sorry that the past fixes did not work. Thanks for the comments! Please let me know if this guide works/doesn't work. Update: This guide has been modified to the latest updates as of August 2, 2011 including the latest Xcode 4.1 and OS X Lion 10.7. Apple has been adamantly refusing to create an iPhone SDK support for Windows-based machines. The following steps involve installing a virtual machine on your PC, updating the virtual machine to 10.7 , then running the machine and downloading and installing the iOS SDK and Xcode on to the virtual machine. There are other ways to install OS X on your machine but they involve creating a new partition and installing the Operating System directly to your hard drive. The process will take 2-3 hours, but most of the time is consumed by large downloads. 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. 7. Now you can start coding an app for your personal use.
