Hmm. I still believe that the knowledge of how the runtime environments
works is essential for a good ObjC developer, and C is essential to
understand how the runtime environment is build (or can you do it
without knowing what a pointer to function is?) ... but oh well, I might
be just to old ...

The idea of sending newbies to learn C first should be a big waste of

knowledge of C. While the new programmer learns about control
structures (if, while, for) and data types (double, int), they waste
time learning about structures and functions as separate entities. I
realize that NSRect's and NSRange's are structures, but the usage of
them can be covered much more briefly in an Objective-C book.
