Interpreting Objective-C Guide

I've been working in the iOS community since 2008, and I've seen many people come to Objective-C. I've also seen many of them complain about it. I called this talk "Interpreting Objective-C" because I hope it will help you understand Objective-C a little better, and especially realize that when people describe Objective-C in terms of brackets and colons, they're missing its true nature.

- 15. Observation Objective-C solves many problems in bridging C with high level languages. • Introspectable: no glue code is needed to bind to compiled objects. • Dynamic: we can add to the Objective-C runtime at run time. Interpreting Objective-C. © Tim Burks. March 4, 2014
- 16. So What’s Nu? • Nu is an interpreted dialect of Lisp that parses into Objective C objects that can be evaluated to perform computations. • Nu interacts directly with the Objective-C runtime to create and use classes, methods, and objects. Interpreting Objective-C. © Tim Burks. March 4, 2014
