In Objective-C Advanced Programming LiveLessons Jiva DeVoe covers the advanced features of the Objective-C language. When viewers have completed these lessons, they will have an understanding of the necessary aspects of Objective-C that are needed to begin writing applications using Cocoa and Cocoa Touch.
Developer and author Jiva DeVoe teaches viewers how to:
• Use blocks
• Use categories to extend the capabilities of existing classes
• Use key value coding and key value observing
• Use threading to harness the power of multiprocessor and multicore machines
• Understand design patterns commonly used in Objective-C
• Serialize and deserialize objects to property lists and to JSON strings
• Understand best practices for programming clean code in Objective-C
