 Why Are We Here?

Thursday, April 2, 2009

 Why Are We Here?

To build iPhone & iPod touch applications

using Cocoa Touch

Thursday, April 2, 2009

 Why Are We Here?
• CS193P is not just about the iPhone, Cocoa Touch or ObjC
• It’s about real-world software engineering, as well as object
oriented architecture and design
• Exposure to problems and solutions that you might not see in
other classes

Thursday, April 2, 2009

 Cocoa Touch & iPhone SDK
• Based on Cocoa
! Mature, polished, highly consistent APIs
• Provides a very rich starting point for exploring app design
• Shows “real-world” implementations of OO design patterns
• Designs learned on iPhone translate directly to Mac OS X

Thursday, April 2, 2009

 What We’ll Cover This Quarter

Thursday, April 2, 2009

 Tools
Xcode Interface Builder

Frameworks
Foundation UIKit

Language [textView setStringValue: @“Hello”];

(& Runtime)
Objective-C

Thursday, April 2, 2009

 Why Objective-C?
• Exposure to other languages is always good
• ObjC is a language focused on simplicity and the elegance of
object oriented design
! Based on ANSI C
! Brings many object oriented principles, but with a minimal

amount of syntax
• A data point to compare with designs of C, C++, Java and
other languages
