This is really awesome, I 'm trying to read this book called "The Absolute Beginners guide to C" for my placement exam but this is far more helpful, 1 because I have a Mac and 2 because I'm a visual learner. Clear and Straightforward. Thanks!!

@FrankAguilarTV Thanks so much, I will be posting some more videos as time goes on. I currently have the worst internet ever so I won't have a new video at least until Sunday. Glad you enjoy the videos though and glad I can help you with your exams.

@apratheek The return is not required for the main function. Xcode automatically presumes it ends with a 0. Later you will learn more on the return and why it is necessary in some other cases.

View>Debug Area>Activate Console. Alternatively you can select the button in the toolbar that has the heading "view" underneath it, selecting the middle one out of the three will open the console.

Thanks. It was actually turned on. I'm a bit of a noob to programming and using xCode, but your videos are really helping :)

@aliasgr92 I had another person ask the exact same question. The language for iPhone is Objective-C, I am planning on teaching that in the near future however I find it much more useful to understand C and then transfer to Objective-C. Obj-C just has more complicated things and I find it much easier to understand the basics before moving on to more complex languages. If people really want them though, I can start on them soon.

[AppleProgramming]

@PrototypeAndroid C is more of what other languages are based off of (C++, C#, Objective-C). Objective-C is the language Apple uses for all of their products. So later on, if you learn Objective-C you can program Mac, iPhone and iPad apps. It also will give you a better understanding of programming in general and you can transfer that knowledge to other languages as well.

@vmars316 No idea what you mean by Xcode 4 and Cocoa being discontinued, if anything it's the very opposite.

@MrJonnyrocks What if I increased the font size?

[AppleProgramming]

@b112895 ...The Cocoa tutorials are light at first, but they do expect you to know basic Objective-C principals, so you may get lost later on if you don't know the basics. I arranged my tutorials to go from C->Objective-C->Cocoa, but you don't have to watch every C tutorial to move on. Once you get the basic things like if, while, for, etc., you can attempt to move on.

@zungaloca you can use fgets to see if the return key is all that was pressed. Just watch the fgets tutorial and you should get it from there.

[AppleProgramming]

@b112895 Basically you NEED to know Objective-C, and if you have NO prior programming knowledge, then I start you off with the C tutorials. thenewboston more or less combines C into his first few Objective-C tutorials, so technically he is just teaching you C in the beginning, but whomever you want to learn from is up to you. I do have Cocoa tutorials on my channel (Mac OS), not many people do. It's a brand new series that I just started so if you want to see those, feel free to look at those

@b112895 Haha, nope. I just get email notifications and Mail is always on when I'm @ my comp.
