Question

At the moment I am learning how to use Xcode and objective C to make iOS apps – and all is going well.

I come across a lot of terms which I think are language specific and I was wondering is there a website that explains these are?

Terms like setter, class, subclass etc. I am starting to understand what they are, but it would be good, to find a sort of dictionary for these.

So I am familiar with the reading of the terms, but I want to learn what they all mean, so I can make more sense of the code, beyond basic manipulation:-)

Is there a website for this??

EDIT:

Take for example this code:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *urlAddress = @"http://google.com";    
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:requestObj];
}

I know what it does, but I am unsure of how to write this from scratch – even though it’s simple – I guess if I knew what part is called what then I could say that I could remember it in a logical sense.

I could say I need an NSString with the name urladdress – but is this a Class with an object? that kinda stuff:-)

The examples you mentioned are not Xcode or even Objective-C specific.

But a good start is Apples Objective-C document, http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/ObjC.pdf
