Talk:Objective-C Programming/concepts

The word processor analogy is a bit, hard for a beginner to grasp here. I understand it, but a new programmer may not, or at the very least will likely have a hard time understanding the relationship. In "Programming in Objective-C" by Stephen G. Kochan he uses a car analogy. Might we strive for something a little easier and more simple to understand.

A car is developed from a blue print, or a concept car. Each car that you can buy is an instance of this blue print or concept car. Each instance of this car is an Object Something along those lines?

Or possibly we can relate it to the human body which most people who can read out to understand at this point in their lives.

The human body is an object. The human body is created from a blueprint (our genes). Each person is an "instance" of the human body. I can see this might be more difficult, but I'd almost try to find something like a Car or what have you that you can then break down, a car has an engine, a gas tank, a stereo, etc. This way the example can be used again when describing inheritance later on.
