I want to program the iPhone/iPad, but don't want all the headaches required for this:
- Buying a Mac dev box
- Learning Objective C
- Dealing with the whole Apple Developer's Program paper shuffle
- hvs 17y agoObjective C isn't really that hard if you already know C. I find it a lot more pleasant to use than, say, C++.
- scorchin 17y agoI'm going through the same process right now. I've just bought a Mac Mini + Magic Mouse + VGA Adapter + AppleCare for £700. I've got a decent monitor, KVM switch and keyboard already. I'm going over my K&R book at the moment, running through all of the exercises — especially pointers. Once I've finishes with K&R my plan is to go through 'Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X' by Hillegass. Aiming for a completion date around the end of March. After that my iPhone development begins as I should have a decent foothold over core Mac programming and will, hopefully, only need to fill in a few blanks using the online references.
- cabalamat 17y agoSurely the fix for this is called Android?
- Slashed 17y agoInstead of writing code in Objective C, you can try to use something like PhoneGap( http://phonegap.com/ http://phonegap.com/ ). Though I'm not sure if it's suitable for making games and other graphic intensive stuff.
