Frequently Asked Questions about Objective C

Objective-C is a programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. It is primarily used for developing applications for Apple's macOS and iOS operating systems. Understanding Objective-C is important because it lays the foundation for working with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks, which are essential for building applications for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. As the predecessor to Swift, Objective-C remains relevant for maintaining and updating existing applications, making it a valuable skill for developers in the Apple ecosystem.‎

With skills in Objective-C, you can pursue various roles in software development, particularly in the Apple ecosystem. Common job titles include iOS Developer, macOS Developer, Software Engineer, and Mobile Application Developer. These positions often involve creating, maintaining, and updating applications for Apple devices. Additionally, companies that rely on legacy systems may seek developers proficient in Objective-C to ensure compatibility and functionality of their existing applications.‎

To learn Objective-C effectively, you should focus on several key skills. First, a solid understanding of C programming is essential, as Objective-C builds upon it. Familiarity with object-oriented programming concepts, such as classes and inheritance, is also crucial. Additionally, knowledge of Apple's development environment, Xcode, and the Cocoa framework will enhance your ability to create applications. Finally, practicing coding through projects and exercises will help reinforce your learning and build your confidence.‎

Some of the best online courses for learning Objective-C include the Foundations of Objective-C App Development course. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the language and its application in iOS development. Additionally, exploring related specializations, such as the C and Go: Classical and Modern Programming Specialization or the C, Go, and C++: A Comprehensive Introduction to Programming Specialization, can provide a broader understanding of programming concepts that complement your Objective-C skills.‎

Yes. You can start learning objective c on Coursera for free in two ways:

  1. Preview the first module of many objective c courses at no cost. This includes video lessons, readings, graded assignments, and Coursera Coach (where available).
  2. Start a 7-day free trial for Specializations or Coursera Plus. This gives you full access to all course content across eligible programs within the timeframe of your trial.

If you want to keep learning, earn a certificate in objective c, or unlock full course access after the preview or trial, you can upgrade or apply for financial aid.‎

To learn Objective-C, start by familiarizing yourself with the basics of C programming, as this is the foundation of Objective-C. Next, enroll in online courses that focus on Objective-C, such as the Foundations of Objective-C App Development. Practice coding regularly by working on small projects or exercises. Engage with online communities or forums to seek help and share your progress. Finally, consider building a simple app to apply what you've learned and gain practical experience.‎

Typical topics covered in Objective-C courses include the syntax and structure of the language, object-oriented programming principles, memory management, and the use of frameworks like Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Courses often include practical exercises that involve building applications, working with user interfaces, and integrating APIs. Additionally, you may learn about debugging techniques and best practices for writing clean, maintainable code.‎

For training and upskilling employees in Objective-C, the Foundations of Objective-C App Development course is an excellent choice. It provides a structured approach to learning the language and its applications in app development. Additionally, organizations may consider offering a combination of courses from related specializations, such as the C Programming for Everybody Specialization, to ensure a well-rounded understanding of programming concepts that support Objective-C development.‎
