Can anyone suggest me how can I start learning objective-C? I am completely new to this programming language. Are there any books available for same? What are the prerequisites to learn this language? I mean any programming languages, IDE for development. I know C,C++,Java and C#. Thanks, Tapan

I used Big Nerd Ranch's book. http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/objective-c_programming_the_big_nerd_ranch_guide[^] If you have money to invest, I think it is worth it. -David

After Apple documentation, BigNerdRanch and Lynda I must add what helped me to completely understand objective-c. Here is the link: link[^]

Well First you will need a Mac with X-Code installed. It's free to download on the Mac App Store. Then I suggest to follow some Tutorials on the Web to create simple Applications before you consult the Apple Documentation - where you can wuickly find solutions for specific problems. In my opinion it's useless to buy books, as the Cocoa Framework is updated quite frequently and the books get outdated pretty soon. What helps are Tutorials on the Web (do some Google research) and Apple WWDC Videos. Regards, Simon
