And before one dismisses ObjC because one has never heard of it,
do realise that NeXT was built on it, as is OSX.  And yes, GCC 3
compiles ObjC code (generally .m and .h files).

This sample chapter from O'Reilly is a good (generic, non Apple-
specific despite the book itself) introduction to ObjC:

    We know today that the brain we are born with is
    not the finished product it was once thought to be.
    The structuring of the brain depends very much on
    experiences gone through in the first hours, days,
    and weeks of a person's life.
