So I picked up Stephen Kochan’s book on Objective-C “Programming in Objective-C” (Unfortunately, 2.0 isn’t out until November.  Sucks.)  pretty much because he taught me C back when I was in high school with his first edition of “Programming in C”.  That and the original K&R book on C were my bibles for the language, as I’m sure they were for a lot of people back in “the day”.  Hell, I still have both of my original books from damn near 20 years ago.

Wow.  That’s sort of fucking scary.  I feel old now =(

Moving on…

Now that I’m interested in learning ObjC for Mac/iPhone stuff, I thought it was great that Kochan had a book out on it.  I always liked his writing style, so this should be a good read.  I haven’t coded in C in ages, so hopefully I can ramp up and get back into it without much effort.

At first glance with the language, it shouldn’t be that tough.  There’s many similarities to Perl, at least for me, that will make it easier for me to pick it up.  I never learned C++ or any other strongly OOP language like Java, but Perls modules and class oriented style look pretty similar.

Anyway, hopefully I’ll have some updates on my progress.  And hopefully I won’t fucking pass out from my brain being overstuffed with code.  Dreams about code are never fun.
