C++ or Objective-C? — #1
Hi, I'm new to software development so I was wondering, which programming language would be the best for Mac development, C++ or Objective-C. I will be programming in xCode, so whi…
C++ or Objective-C? — #2
Where should I go to learn (for the complete noob) about either one? After reading a few web pages, I kinda leaning towards Objective-C, but I can't find any that don't already req…
C++ or Objective-C? — #3
In either case you should really learn plain C first. But for Mac-specific programing, Objective-C is the language of choice. It has the best integration with the Mac APIs (eg, C…

Yes, Xcode will compile ANSI compliant C code.
C++ or Objective-C? — #6
Xcode can compile C++, Objective-C and plain old C. So you've got a compiler no matter which you go with. And yeah, a search would probably turn up better recommendations than you'…
C++ or Objective-C? — #7
Definitely spend most of your time learning C first. It helps to take a class in it. Then Objective-C will come easily.
C++ or Objective-C? — #8
Good luck making your decision. Like everyone, I agree that you should try and learn C first (or use the Cocoa bindings from a language like Python if learning C isn't your desire…

Objective-C has more than one syntactic extension to C. It adds keywords such as @implementation…@end and @try, and the <ProtocolName> syntax for indicating conformance to a …

Carbon and Cocoa are very different. It's not that one is necessarily less capable than the other, they're just different. To generalize a lot, I would say Cocoa is "easier." Carbo…

I think that Apple originally inteded Carbon to be a "transition" technology from Classic Mac OS to Mac OS X. However, this is certainly not the case now. It is not the poor cous…

If you're writing new code, then cocoa is probably the best way to go since you're starting fresh. Carbon does have it's applications though and certainly could be used. IMO, car…

Cocoa is meant for Objective-C, but you can use other languages with it. Java, Perl, Python, Ruby and probably several others I haven't thought of all have Cocoa bridges.
