This document outlines an agenda for a class on learning Objective-C. It includes sessions on building a tip calculator, overviewing Objective-C concepts like classes and properties through a tic-tac-toe example, learning UI/UX through a task tracking app, using CoreData and networking through another example app, debugging techniques, and game development using Cocos2d. It also provides background on Objective-C's history and influence from Smalltalk and C, as well as resources for further learning Objective-C programming.
