What is considered good cocoa style? I am sometimes tempted to be efficient and code like:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(sendCommandToSocket:) name:@"AGFIBSSendCommandToSocket" object:nil];

Is it better to be more clear like and break things down:

NSNotificationCenter *nc = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[nc addObserver:self selector:@selector(sendCommandToSocket:) name:@"AGFIBSSendCommandToSocket" object:nil];

It's really just a matter of taste. I often write code in the more verbose manner, and then condense it after I've gotten it working.

I find more verbose code also easier to debug. You can easily query if the intermediate steps are nil or whatnot. Of course, in this particular case, it wouldn't make a much difference.

I like this, very clear.
