Courses Plus Student 1,302 PointsC fundamentals
Is there any necessity of attending C fundamentals classes instead of tackling Objective-C basics and fundamentals directly?
Basilio Guzmán
Courses Plus Student 1,302 PointsUnderstood, and big thanks for the clarification. Right now I'm in the iOS Development Track, but at the same time, I'm reading a book called "Programming in Objective-C by Stephen Kochan" and the way the book teaches you, doesn't teaches C at all, if the book teaches you about pointers, arrays, variables, floating points, is in the Objective-C way, not the C way. Don't know If explicit with my answer.

After starting and stopping a few different books and tutorials, I can say everyone explains things differently and there is always something to learn.

Courses Plus Student 16,527 PointsWell if you can, go ahead. But the best thing is to understand C before Objective-C. The most important thing pointers and how does the memory management works :D
