Video description

In this Objective-C programming training course expert author Jesse Feiler teaches you the basics of Objective-C for iOS 7 and Xcode 5. This course focuses on the Objective-C programming language, utilizing Xcode and the Apple Frameworks wherever necessary to build your App.
You start the tutorial with a review of the Xcode 5 interface, and how you are going to use it to build your Objective-C project. Throughout this video tutorial you will learn about the structure of an Objective-C App, using declared properties and instance variables, how to manage memory, using instance variables and how to work with collection classes. You will learn how to debug your code, how to use protocols and delegates, work with class extensions and working with try/catch to handle exceptions.
Once you have completed this computer based training course on Objective-C programming, you will have a comprehensive understanding of how Objective-C fits into the App creation scheme, as well as how to utilize provided Apple Frameworks and how to use Xcode to build your App. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
