I cracked open the Xcode 4 book and skipped chapter 1 (Xcode installation) but went through chapters 2 and 3. Chapter 2 dealt with my "first app" again. Can you guess what it is? Yes, it was "Hello World". What a shock. The next chapter dealt with a C program involving one C header file and one other C type of file (which held two functions).
Some of the code was intentionally buggy. I was able to figure out most of the bugs but not necessarily what all the code meant (but most of it). There was one &var thing that I want to revisit but no big deal. Chapter 3 was a cool app - when 5 variables were passed it provided a quarterback passer rating! Now THAT is a meaningful app! All kidding aside, chapter 3 gave me a chance to get my feet wet once again. Yes, it was with pure C code but it was still fun.
I am looking forward to reading the following chapters. So far I like this book. It is giving me a nice background into the Xcode environment really nicely and I am feeling a little better about reading this book prior to the iOS books.
