One point of research (going through my books.)
The Cocoa with Objective-C book shows not assigning self.. Arg.. So
where do we get in the habit of assigning self? Is it bad code
practice? I know i have done it for the past 4 years out of habit and
learning from example code and other materials.

Ok. Myself, like most Cocoa engineers have learned to write
initializers like so:
-(id) init
{
self = [super init];
if (self != nil)
{
.. do my init
}
return self;
}
So my question is:
As i get ready to teach non-cocoa programmers in my company about
cocoa programming, and having read Will Shipley's blog, Is the above
the way to teach writing an initializer? I see Will, and a few
others, say no [super init] will initialize self in its code there
is no reason to assign self. Yet all code and docs I see have
similar code.
Arguments for and against? I know old debate.... ;-)
