When I decided jump head first into learning how to develop iOS applications, I knew that it wouldn’t be easy. Programming isn’t something that comes naturally to me. Over the past two days, as I’ve worked my way through the first several chapters of Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide, I’ve gained confidence as I’ve completed each exercise. The challenges haven’t been any issue, either.
That confidence came to a grinding halt tonight, when I got to chapters eight and nine. These chapters, Addresses and Pointers and Pass By Reference, confused the hell out of me. I don’t really understand what goes on behind the scenes with computers, and it’s always something that has eluded me. I completed the lessons in both chapters, but I finished them feeling like I have no idea what’s going.
So, tomorrow, I’m going to go through them again. And maybe the next day, too. I want to make sure that I’m retaining what I’m reading, and it just didn’t happen on these two chapters. Stay tuned…
