Jul, 2009 Issue

Article Synopsis

rad Cox is one of the co-creators of the Objective-C language, along with Tom Love.  Objective-C was originally designed as a Smalltalk-like object system on top of the C language.  NeXT started using Objective-C for its NeXTstep operating system and later, when Apple bought NeXT, it became the language du jour for writing Mac OS X and iPhone applications.  Brad was nice enough to talk with me for an interview with MacTech.
