I'm just thinking about how I would do this if I was programming in
Perl. I don't like having to call an array to get my values when
passing them to the Book object. This is what I'd do in Perl:
my ($title, $author, $publisher) = split ", ", $bookInfo;
$newBook->setTitle($title);
$newBook->setAuthor($author);
$newBook->setPublisher($publisher);
This quite obviously isn't Perl, though. I'm still getting used to
Objective-C. I just find the use of variables more descriptive than
the indices of an array.
Explicit or implicit, no matter which approach you use, you're still
saying "the first field is the title, the second field is the author,
and the third field is the publisher." The Perl code merely restates
the ugliness.
yes, I was amazed to see how powerful and flexible the
NSMutableDictionary combined with nested NSMutableArray elements was.
Classes [C++ thinking here] no longer need to have explicit member
variables -- everything can just be stuffed into a single dictionary.
Makes serialization a lot easier too.
