This document provides an overview of Objective-C, including: - Objective-C is a general purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. - Key features include properties (denoted by @property), protocols (denoted by @protocol), and the use of static variables and constants to implement design patterns like the singleton pattern. - Properties in Objective-C use accessor methods like getters and setters that are synthesized using @synthesize or defined dynamically using @dynamic to interface with an object's private instance variables.
