HI Janine,
You were looking in the right place, but at the wrong document. When
I was learning OO, there was no better guide than the "Object Oriented
Programming" section of Apple's "Objective-C Programming Language"
book. It's short, tells you what you need to remember, and best of all
- it's free. See the link below:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001163
Hope that helps.
