WEEK 1

Get Ready. Get Set. Go!

Welcome to Week 1! This week we will be discussing a variety of topics including the tools that we will be using, a basic orientation to the programming environment and the very basic programming syntax that Objective-C inherits from the C language.

WEEK 2

Functions, Scopes and Encapsulation - oh my!

Welcome to Week 2! This week we will be learning about how functions are defined in C and then how methods are defined in Objective-C. We will look at the more complex rules surrounding scoping and encapsulation of variables and functions. We'll end the week learning about Objective-C objects and memory.

WEEK 3

Object Lesson

Welcome to Week 3! At the end of this week you will be able to use Objective-C objections by defining them, instantiating them and passing messages to them. We will also introduce you to some of the objects that are build into the language.

WEEK 4

System Libraries to the Rescue

Welcome to Week 4! This week we will be learning about built-in features that help to manage data structures and memory
