XCode Objective-C User Interface Builder Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Objective-C is the main programming language used by Apple for the OS X and iOS operating systems and their respective APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, so is very much a language on the up and up, because of the increased iPhone mobile phone usage. <\/p>\n

Objective-C is a general-purpose, high-level, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. It is the main programming language used by Apple for the OS X and iOS operating systems and their respective APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch.<\/p>\n

Originally developed in the early 1980s, it was selected as the main language used by NeXT for its NeXTSTEP operating system, from which OS X and iOS are derived.[1] Generic Objective-C programs that do not use the Cocoa or Cocoa Touch libraries can also be compiled for any system supported by GCC or Clang.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tutorial<\/a> above uses an XCode Cocoa Application with its framework and additionally incorporates the Quartz Framework to create a simple Quartz Composer viewer. This Mac OS X desktop User Interface application is written in Objective-C.<\/p>\n

Please note that the picture above is the final successful code snapshot for Mac OS X 10.7.5 XCode 4.4 usage, which differs from the code at the end of the tutorial.<\/p>\n
