iOS Developer

Cocoa is for Mac App development and cocoa touch is for apples touch devices - that provide all development environment

☛ private - limits the scope class variable to the class that declares it.

☛ protected - Limits instance variable scope to declaring and inheriting classes.

☛ public - Removes restrictions on the scope of instance variables

In non atomic no such guaranty that value is returned from variable is same that setter sets. at same time

to get the any update /alert from server .

A category allows you to add methods to an existing class—even to one for which you do not have the source.

*strong -o "own" the object you are referencing with this property/variable. The compiler will take care that any object that you assign to this property will not be destroyed as long as you (or any other object) points to it with a strong reference.

An operation object is a single-shot object—that is, it executes its task once and cannot be used to execute it again. You typically execute operations by adding them to an operation queue An NSOperationQueue object is a queue that handles objects of the NSOperation class type. An NSOperation object, simply phrased, represents a single task, including both the data and the code related to the task. The NSOperationQueue handles and manages the execution of all the NSOperation objects (the tasks) that have been added to it.

In synchronous request main thread gets block and control will not get back to user till that request gets execute.

In Asynchronous control gets back to user even if request is getting execute.

release - destroy the object from memory,

autorelease - destroy the object from memory in future when it is not in use.

Garbage Collection is a Memory Management feature. It manages the allocation and release of the memory to your applications. When the garbage collector performs a collection, it checks for objects in the managed heap that are not executed by the applications.

The following listed are the methods to achieve concurrency functionality in iOS:

☛ 1. Threads

☛ 2. Dispatch Queues

☛ 3. Operation Queues

The Frameworks developed for Cocoa are listed as follows:

☛ 1. Foundation

☛ 2. Application Kit

It enables a methods to exhibit different behaviours under different instances. The task of creating a Function or an Operator behave differently in different instances is known as Operator Overloading which is an implementation of Polymorphism.

Plist represents Property Lists. It is a key-value store for the Application to Save and Retrieve persistent data values. This is specifically used for iPhone development. It is basically and XML File.

iOS 4 and above supports multi-tasking and allows apps to remain in the background until they are launched again or until they are terminated.

IOS - 6.1.3

Broad cox and Tom Love

☛ Retain -Specifies that retain should be invoked on the object upon assignment. takes ownership of an object

☛ Assign - Specifies that the setter uses simple assignment. Uses on attribute of scalar type like float,int.

protocol is used the declare a set of methods that a class that "adopts" (declares that it will use this protocol) will implement.

Delegates are a use of the language feature of protocols. The delegation design pattern is a way of designing your code to use protocols where necessary.

Blocks are a language-level feature added to C, Objective-C and C++, which allow you to create distinct segments of code that can be passed around to methods or functions as if they were values. Blocks are Objective-C objects, which means they can be added to collections like NSArray or NSDictionary. They also have the ability to capture values from the enclosing scope, making them similar to closures or lambdas in other programming languages.
