    Hey:), has anyone tried to learn objective C?I know you dont need it in any computing course but... If so, then is it difficult? I know a bit of java, would that help at all?

    Those new Mac computers in the library look cool btw. Pity I cant access them.
    :mad::mad:

    I've tried.
    Its a little different to anything I've learned before. Since its derived from the NextStep language, all of the basic functions have NS before them, eg NSLog instead of printf/cout/system.out.println.

    Also, its weird how it sends variables to functions/classes.

    Check out this blog and you'll see what I mean:
    Learning Objective-C for iPhone programming.

    Only problem though, if you're learning it for iPhone programming, then you'll need access to a Mac. Objective-C on its own can be compiled on Windows with gcc, but for iPhone you have to use XCode on MacOSX.

    Cheers,

    Yea its unfortunate i need a mac, which is stupid, seeing as you can run windows in mac, but not mac in windows(not legally anyway).
    Luckily macs are one of the cheapest computers around. :D

    I downloaded a version of mac for VMware on windows, but the iPhone sdk didn't work on it! Plus it was really really slow and a lot of things didnt work.

    Cheers for the input, when i get a mac it will keep me busy in my spare time!:)
