Chapter 1. Introduction

Welcome to Learn Objective-C for Java Developers. This book will help you transition from programming in Java to programming in Objective-C, the primary language used to develop applications for Apple's line of Mac OS X–based computers and consumer products. You will learn to write effectively in a dynamic and flexible language that powers many of today's cutting-edge applications and mobile devices. More important, this book will show you how to leverage the coding practices, design patterns, and problem-solving skills you've learned in Java and apply them to Objective-C.
