A very nice intro into my second "first" iOS application. I guess each Objective-C book wants to whet your appetite to the greatness of the iPhone and iPad development platform. I am happy to oblige. The chapter (27) begins with talking about setting up a blank app. Then it goes into discussing using a "C" helper function. As an aside, I wish there was a point where I could feel pretty comfortable with the learning but there is always something new. In reality, that is a good thing but it still feels like there is no way to get me to the next level.
The chapter then discusses the AppDelegate class and also talks about the Model-View-Controller design pattern. Quite frankly, I am still unsure what a design pattern even is and supposedly there are like two dozen that are familiar to the design patterneers. I do like that the discussion centers on keeping the model-view-controller job categories in separate places as that makes sense.
I am up to page 182 so I am a bit past 2/3 of the way through the book. I think I may be on my 100th day but I will know for sure tomorrow when I look at my calendar.
