Understanding and implementing robust memory management practices in your application will reduce bugs and improve the efficiency of your application. If you are used to programming in languages such as Basic where memory management is not an issue or if you are used to the raw memory management practices of C and C++ then you will need to change your thinking to work with Objective-C’s reference counted memory management. This course walks you through Objective-C’s memory management techniques using over 86 minutes of video
