I’ve just started learning Obj-C and the Cocoa-Touch framework for developing iPhone and iPad applications. When you add a framework to an XCode project I can’t help notice there are an enormous number to get familiar e.g. AddressBook, CoreData, Foundation, Security etc.
- Which frameworks are common to most
projects and the most important to
master i.e. UIKit? - Which frameworks
will require a prerequisite
level of understanding of another? - Which frameworks are application specific
and can be left until needed i.e.
Accelerate?
Really just learn them as you run into a need for them.
UIKit, Foundation, CoreGraphics and CoreAnimation are a good subset that will let you do most applications though.
