Objective-C is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. It was the main programming language supported by Apple for macOS, iOS, and their respective application programming interfaces (APIs) before being succeeded by Swift. Objective-C remains relevant for maintaining and updating legacy applications on Apple platforms.
Having skill with 'Objective-C' is essential for developers interested in maintaining legacy codebases on Apple's platforms or contributing to projects that still use this language. In addition, understanding Objective-C can provide a foundation for learning Swift, Apple’s current language of choice, since much of Apple's older code and many existing frameworks are written in Objective-C.
Continuing with low confidence in 'Objective-C' might limit the developer's opportunities in maintaining and upgrading a significant number of existing applications. This skill gap could hinder their ability to contribute to projects that require interoperability with older codebases or understanding legacy systems, potentially affecting career advancement, especially in roles related to Apple platform development.
Mastering 'Objective-C' could enable a software developer to work on a broader range of projects within the Apple ecosystem, including maintaining existing applications and understanding the underpinnings of higher-level APIs. It could also facilitate a smoother transition to learning Swift, as the developer would already be familiar with the APIs and development environment associated with Apple's platforms.
