Study Notes: On PROTOCOLS and DELEGATES



Finally, I am starting to get a better sense of the use of protocols and delegates.  The light that went on today was as a result of page 235 in Goldstein/Bove's iPad Application for Dummies, 2nd edition.

It helps that I'm picking through the example tiny bit by tiny bit, like I'm looking for gold dust in a big pan of water, rock and dirt. (Not a reflection on objective-c!)

"The methods that a class delegates are defined in a protocol..... (using).... the @protocol directive."

"Protocols declare methods that can be implemented by any class."

 .....

Previous helpful references from one of following page groups 204, 234-5, 318

* One object delegates the task of implementing one of it's methods, to another object

* Methods a class delegates are defined in a protocol
