Overreaction

Yesterday's post on Objective C being ha-rrrrrrd was an overreaction. I said I was in a bad mood and I was. I somewhat stand by what I said about it being slow going, but my attitude overall was defeatist. I have returned to Xcode today and had a much more enjoyable time. I wasn't really ready to throw in the towel.

Where i'm having the most trouble seems to be with memory management at the moment. Unlike the standard deep-end newbie that doesn't even know it's an issue, I've read perhaps too much on the topic, and consequently I keep guessing, wrongly it seems, where I need to be retaining.

I think I may need to reread that chapter...
