iOS How to learn Objective-C

[AppleFAN3]

Hi, I am very eager to lear iOs programming. I have only ever written in DarkBasic, and a few programs on my Ti-83. I really want to step it up. I have read a few books and webpages, but i get lost in the syntax. I need help.

Look at the sticky thread at the top of this forum. It has lots of resources for getting started.

I am also interested in some video tutorials which can help me in understanding the concepts and start programming.

Any links for videos download would be appreciated

U Should definitly check out the Stanford free video's on iTunes, those set you on the way.

Beginning iPhone 4 Development is an excellent book (I have Beginning iPhone 3 Development myself) however, this is not the place to start. The OP said he/she gets lost in the syntax. This book assumes prior knowledge of Objetive-C and might be frustrating to somebody who gets "lost in the syntax."

I suggest Programming In Objective-C 2.0 by Stephen Kochan. This book will teach you Objective-C syntax and OOP in general.

After the Kochan book, then start on Beginning iPhone 3/4 Development. You'll get a lot more out of it.
