WHY I’M STARTING OVER
Some of you may remember I started down this road a few months ago and then quickly changed direction. I had a few projects come up that helped pay the bills and that meant learning a few new things and learning those new things pushed learning Objective-C to the background. Those projects are finally over and now I can get back to learning what I REALLY want to learn: iOS development using Objective-C.

WHAT I’M STARTING WITH
I will be using the excellent (as far as a novice can tell anyway) book pictured above “Objective-C Programming The Big Nerd Ranch Guide”, written by none other than Aaron Hillegass. Out of all of the books I’ve looked at this is the one that spoke to me and seemed to respect my time and intelligence. Very little fluff and touches on some subject you wouldn’t normally expect to see discussed in a beginner level book; the stack and bitwise operation to name a couple. Looks like an excellent book.

WHAT I’M GOING TO WRITE ABOUT
Not sure yet, but right now I am thinking I will go through the book chapter by chapter and report how things are going, what clicks, what trips me up, etc. I suppose in a way it’ll be like an extended book review.

Well there is no time like the present to get going, so I am cracking open the book and will post when I get through the introduction and chapter 1 :)

Wish me luck – Adam
