Hello,
I know that there is not a soul here yet, but does anyone know of some good tutorials for users new to Objective-C. I'm having a bit of trouble with it. I've taken an Introductory class to programming, but it deal only with C#.
My focus on learning Objective-C is for interactive websites. Xcode 3 is a bit tricky, but after playing around with it for a while now, I don't suspect it'll be too hard to get familiar with.
I hope to see more people here soon!

Hi, welcome to the forum. We are just getting started.

I actually taught myself objective-c after only writing c# and c++ for years. I actually read a book by Jonathan Zdziarski (one of the first people to hack iPhone) that had a great overview of how to do basic things in objective-c that was easy for anyone that knew another c language to understand. I also read through a lot of sample code after that and was able to pick up on it fairly quickly.

I would say find a good book on the subject and collect as much code as you can from the internet and read through it.

You might want to get a MacOS/Cocoa specific book, but if you are interested in the book I mentioned above you can find it on Amazon here: Amazon.com: iPhone Open Application Development: Write Native Objective-C Applications for the iPhone: Jonathan Zdziarski: Books

Thanks Jon,

I might have to give that book a look. I'm not really looking into developing anything for the iPhone, well, now that I think about it, I might. Anyways, thank you for the quick reply.

It is worth a look. Lets just say that if you learn Cocoa for Mac OS you will know how to program for the iPhone, and the other way around.

I'd recomend the "Cocoa Programming for Mac OSX" by Aaron Hillegass (Third Edition). Objective-C is really the first language I have learnt, and even though the book is designed for someone that already knows C, I was able to pick it up.

Its stuctured so that not only does it give you example programmes to work through, but also a challenge at the end of some chapters, to put into practice what you have learnt. All in all, a very good book.
