Hence my complaint that people are not bothering to learn Objective-C before
asking Objective-C Cocoa questions in this forum. Maybe Apple should put
"YOU MUST LEARN APPLE'S VARIANT OF OBJECTIVE-C BEFORE THESE DOCUMENTS WILL
BE USEFUL" in red on every page of the documentation.
I must learn in a manner very different from most other people. When I see
an unfamiliar phrase repeated in documentation, I get a burning desire to
look it up so that I can understand its implications. I suppose I will just
have to be tolerant of other learning styles. Of course, I would never
dream of trying to learn a gargantuan framework without learning its
implementation language...
