Objective-C is mainly about objects, i am intermediate in Objective-C not from the book i mentioned, but by Practicing app development instead of taking my time to learn the syntax and how to declare Instance Variables and Properties, i dug right in and little by little i learned what and how Objects interacted with one another.

Also, Objective-C is about classes, I see it like a Box of puzzels, you simply put them together to make an App, Thats my personal point of view. For example, Making an AlertView would go about:

Code

UIAlertView *helloMessage = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Hello User" message:@" Just an idea of how objectve-c works" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:@"Cancel", nil]

Which then would invoke an Alert message. UIAlertView is an Instance of a class from the Framework. you call this class by assigning a pointer called "helloMessage" you would Allocate memory for this instance calling the alloc keword.

Then you would Initialize the rest by calling the

Code

InitWithTitle: ....

And finally you would invoke a method to call this AlertView to be showed on an app depending if you put it on a ViewDidLoad or on an IBAction which triggers it if a button is hit:

Code

[helloMessage show]

where

Code

helloMessage // Is the reciever

and

Code

show // is the selector

.

This kind of instance is defined in a ready to use framework in Objective-C, you just have to call it. Also, You can create your own classes and Objects to use in a very similar way.

Anyway, This is a very tiny example of an Objective-C kind of app function where it is easy for me to explain this than putting a harder example which would require more time to explain, Anyway, hope it helps to get a BIT of an idea of how objective-c works
