Objective-C standards document

Question

I\'m a C and C++ programmer trying to get started with Objective-C. I\'m really bewildered, though, by the apparent total absence of a standards document for the language an

Answer 1

Found at least some of the language definitions of Objective-C, including syntax etc. (see link)

I'm just now where you have been 3 years ago (according to the date in your question): I'm starting to get into Objective-C, and I find it as well strange that there seems to be no reference manual, where I could for example look up the exact meaning and definition of syntax, keywords etc.

I've now discovered, that at least some of it can be found in a document which is related to cocoa (Cocoa Core Competencies). The link for example jumps to the definition of the keyword "@property".

In my POV this is not only relevant only specifically to Cocoa but is generally defining the Objective-C language extension of C. Thats why I wouldn't have searched for it in documents labled "Cocoa ".
