Abstract

One of the overall goals of Objective-C is to reduce the effort necessary to program complex applications through the use of object-oriented concepts, which can help to simplify and clarify the relationship between programming entities. In this chapter, you will learn how to create and use blocks, a syntactical feature that makes the language much easier and more expressive.
