  Tenon Intersystems : Objective-C
Objective-C is an object-oriented extension to the C language.
This provides the flexibility to develop programs in pieces using stepwise refinement to create an initial version of a program and then later during the maintenance phases of a programs life to incrementally change the components of a program.
In traditional programming languages a function is called to perform an operation on a data object.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Compiled language
A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers (translators which generate machine code from source code), and not interpreters (step-by-step executors of source code, where no translation takes place).
In computer programming, an interpreted language is a programming language whose programs may be executed from source form, by an interpreter.
Languages which strop their keywords (and allow arbitrary spaces within identifiers) require a phase before parsing, which is to take the input source and convert it to a canonical form ready for the parser.

 Objective C programming language
Objective-C, often referred to as Obj-C, is an object oriented programming language implemented as an extension to C.
Programs written in Obj-C tended to be not much larger than the size of their code and that of the libraries (which often didn't have to be included in the distribution), in contrast to Smalltalk systems where you needed huge amounts of memory just to open a window.
Likewise the language was implemented on top of existing C compilers (first as a pre-processor, later as a GCC module) rather than as a new compiler.

 BCZ Encyclopedia - Objective C programming language
However Objective C allows the programmer to optionally identify the class of an object, and in those cases the compiler will apply strong-typing methodology.
In strongly-typed languages like C++ and Java, the programmer is forced to write a container class for a generic type of object, and then cast back and forth between the abstract generic type and the real type (C++ can also use templates, but many find these somewhat cumbersome and obscure).
In general Objective C can be summed up as offering much of the flexibility of the later Smalltalk systems, in a language that is deployed as easily as C. Disadvantages

In language studies, the grammatical function of a word or phrase in a sentence.
A programming language is an artificial language intended to be usable for controlling the behavior of a machine (often a computer).
Functional programming is a programming paradigm that conceives computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and mutable data.

 Objective C - GPWiki
Objective C is a programming language designed in the 1980s primarily by Brad Cox.
Further, Objective C is dynamically typed, meaning that the type of data stored in a variable can change depending on the program state.
Notably, Objective C is the "blessed" programming language of Mac OS X. Objective C, the Cocoa API and Apple's XCode programming environment provide one of the most efficacious ways of application development for Mac OS X, allowing programmers easy access to system services and making it simple to abide by the Apple Human Interface Guidelines.

C++ is inherited from C. It provides OO with the compromise that it is very similar to C, and very rigid.
Programming is very often equivalent to solving a problem for which you know at least one solution.
Objective Caml is written by that kind of guys, familiar with theorem proving and decision procedure.

 Objective-C: the More Flexible C++
In contrast, C++ traditionally is associated with the Simula 67 school of object-oriented programming.
It extends the standard ANSI C, so that existing C programs can be adapted to use the frameworks, and programmers can chose when to stick to procedural programming and when to go the object-oriented way.
C is fine as it allows the programmer to do exactly what she wants, all the way down to the hardware.

 Objective-C - InformationBlast
Objective-C, often referred to as ObjC and more seldom as Objective C or Obj-C, is an object oriented programming language implemented as an extension to C.
As of 2004, all Mac OS X classes and functions from the Cocoa programming environment are prefixed with "NS" (as in NSObject or NSButton) to clearly identify them as belonging to the Mac OS X core; the"NS" derives from the names of the classes as defined during the development of NextStep.
Unlike C++ also, Objective-C allows an object only to inherit from one class (forbidding multiple inheritance) however this can be seen to simplify inheritance structures and thus aid in debugging.

 Objective C programming language - Objective C programming language
Objective-C is a very "thin" layer on top of C. Objective-C is a strict superset of C. That is, it is possible to compile any C program with an Objective-C compiler, which cannot be said of C++.
Programs written in ObjC tend to be not much larger than the size of their code and that of the libraries (which generally don't need to be included in the software distribution), in contrast to Smalltalk systems where a large amount of memory was used just to open a window.
Likewise, the language can be implemented on top of existing C compilers (in the GCC, first as a preprocessor, then as a module) rather than as a new compiler.

 Avoiding Copland 2010
I don't want to go down the rat-hole of programming language religion, but suffice it to say that languages (and their associated APIs) that support automatic memory management are the future of software development.
MS has its own new programming language, C#, and is working on an all-new memory-managed API to supplant the venerable C-based Win32 API.
Back when C# and the API that would come to be known as WinFX were on the drawing board at Microsoft, Apple was kind of busy trying to finally get over that pesky "memory protection and preemptive multitasking" thing.

 Cetus Links: 16604 Links on Objects and Components / Objective-C
Objective-C is an extension of the C language, developed around 1982-1983 by Brad Cox and Tom Love.
Objective-C is fully compatible with C (a plain C program can be compiled with an Objective-C compiler), but Objective-C is also extending the C base language with a few constructs, such as classes, messages and inheritance.
Those Objective-C specific extensions are based upon Smalltalk, and in particular Smalltalk-76, because the object model used by Objective-C is the one used in Smalltalk-76 (with one particular class being the root class, superclass of both class and metaclass hierarchies).

The objective of the CORAL project is to develop a robust and efficient deductive database system, and to investigate its use in various application domains.
Coral is a deductive system which supports a rich declarative language, and an interface to C++ which allows for a combination of declaritive and imperative programming.
A high degree of extensibility is provided by allowing C++ programmers to use the class structure of C++ to enhance the CORAL implemenation.

Objective-C is an exciting and dynamic approach to C-based object-oriented programming; it's the approach adopted by Apple as the foundation for programming under Mac OS X, a Unix-based operating system gaining wide acceptance among programmers and other technologists.
While the book is supposedly aimed at those that have coded before in C or C++ it has been fundamental to my learning of Objective-C. The compact no-nonsense format I believe is the key.
Objective C is a great language for all platforms, not just the Mac OS, and this book leads you to it.

Nevertheless, object-oriented programming presents some formidable obstacles to those who would like to understand what it's all about or begin trying it out.
It fully documents the Objective-C language, an object-oriented programming language based on standard C, and introduces the most extensive object-oriented development environment currently available-Cocoa.

I dabbled in C for a while, but didn't get too far because, frankly, I wanted to create cool little Windows productivity apps and, for that purpose, C, or even C++ at that time (mid-90's), was a major headache for a simple programming hobbyist like myself.
Most Cocoa programming guides expect you to be an expert in C or C++ programming, which I most certainly am not, so it took me much longer to wrap my head around some of the more difficult language constructs of Objective-C than it might someone else.

Before I bought this book I did have some programming experience in PHP and Perl, but I did not feel like such experience was needed in reading the book.
It is kind of introductory material about these two languages and may be read in two or three hours by the experienced programmer interested most in Objective C. More Reviews
