I have a question, maybe it’s not the best place to ask, but i want your reviews/experiences. I want to learn objective-c and have S. Kochans book (programming in objective-c). Maybe i will make a switch to the big nerd ranch. Does anybody has any experience with these two books. Wich one is better foor the beginner, i must start from zero. Does the big nerd ranch require programming experience?
If you are starting from zero, with no programming experience, it is better to learn the C Programming Language first.
Objective-C, based on the C Programming Language, enables you to write code that runs on Apple’s computing devices.
If you master the C Programming Language first, you will find that learning any other programming language will be almost effortless.
Having said that, you can still learn Objective-C simultaneously with C if you don’t let yourself be distracted and scared by object-oriented-programming terminology and concepts.
As for Does the big nerd ranch require programming experience?, not really but having some programming experience helps.
