Possible Duplicate:
Style: Dot notation vs. message notation in Objective-C 2.0

In objective-C, you can replace bracket notation when sending message with dot notation

[object msg] becomes object.msg

Is this something I can use interchangeable in most cases, and then keep on chaining

    as suggested you can use dot notation only with properties.
    You can also use bracket notation for both properties and normal messages (istance methods) but its a good convention to use the dot notation with properties.

    You should really try to get used to the bracket notations, i suppose you come from C/C++ 🙂
    you will get used to very fast, and its not bad at all.
