I’ve been getting more and more into iOS programming recently. It is something that I’ve been doing more and more as a hobby, as well as landing a few paying consulting roles creating native iOS applications. I’ve kind of been “marinating” in iOS for some time, but about a year ago I started really getting serious and attempting to have an actual goal with regards to Objective-C and iOS.<\/p>\n
One good FREE resource is the Introduction to iPhone<\/a> series on TekPub with Ben Schierman. It was done a few years ago, and Rob Conery has now given it to the community. It is a little out of date, but you can’t beat the price and it will help you learn a few things. <\/p>\n I have a TekPub subscription, so from there I moved on to Show Me Objective-C<\/a>, another Ben Schierman TekPub series. I really liked the way that Ben explained things, so I started doing a little cyber-stalking<\/span> digging about him and I discovered his site over at NSScreencast<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ben has some free videos there, as well. I downloaded and watched them all and learned a TON. His video about AFNetworking alone was worth the time. I noticed that he had a subscription package initially, but didn’t check back into it until I had watched all of the free videos. I’m glad I did. He offers full access to his videos (new ones weekly) for only $9.00 a month. <\/p>\n This is a BARGAIN!<\/p>\n I feel like – thanks to Ben – that I am an honest-to-goodness-real-life iPhone Developer now. I’m not scared of Xcode, I’m not mystified by Objective-C, nothing. With the videos he has to date, you can spend a weekend and gain an insane amount of confidence on the platform. I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been getting more and more into iOS programming recently.
