Objective-C Cocoa. Finally

This week marks one milestone of the year:  I've started last part of my studies, Objective-C coding for iOS and MacOS X.  It began with the Aaron Hillegass classic textbook for students of Objective-C Cocoa Programming.  I made attempts to read the book in the past, but concepts of object-oriented programming and new syntax were too much for me to understand without prior studies.  By now all of that is done, I know Java, C++, and have solid understanding of what are classes, objects, messages, methods, and so on...  

I've read first three chapters of the book and did examples to become familiar with the language, and must say it wasn't hard at all (unlike all the previous times, when I was basically guessing what the words meant).  I understood quite well the logics behind the syntax and it came down to realization, that Objective C is basically C language (even very much like C++), but with some 'add-ons' to make it more flexible and suited for modern coding practices.

Next week I am going to continue studying and practicing Objective-C, and hope to continue my Project Euler problems (still need more time for that).
