What are some places, websites, or books that helped you learn Objective-C?

https://developer.apple.com/ Objective-C and iOS Programming: A Simplified Approach To Developing Apps for the Apple iPhone & iPad

I highly recommend Programming in Objective-C by Stephen G. Kochan. After that, a free Stanford course on iTunes U is a great resource for wrapping your head around Xcode and iOS development concepts. The course number is CS193p taught by Professor Paul Hegarty. I think the newest semester is called "Developing iOS 7 Apps for iPhone and iPad". iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/course/developing-ios-7-apps-for...

I've also read Stephen G. Kochan's book, but I think the Big Nerd Ranch Guides for Objective-C and iOS (two separate books) are much, much better.

I also subscribed to Stanford's CS193P on iTunes U (the last class about iOS 6) and it helped me a great deal, but I stopped watching soon as I saw the ones I just needed, and actually started coding.
