Objective C

Objective C

• Objective C is an extension of the C programming language, which came on the scene at about the same time as C's other Object Oriented offspring, C++.
• Objective C was intially developed to work with NeXT's NeXTSTEP OS (and the NS prefixes on many of the language's class names come through this route).
• Apple now makes extensive use of Objective C, as the main language for developing OSX and iOS applications, including use as the foundation of the Cocoa Programming Framework.
