>> "Is there an equivalent Visual Basic-style editor for making iOS apps? You just place the button, double click on it, add functionality, drop in elements and you're off the races?" That's pretty much how it works on iOS with Interface Builder (for laying out UI's) and Xcode. It's only slightly more complicated. Instead of double clicking the button and having the method auto-created for you, you create the method yourself and then in Interface Builder you link your button to the method (Ctrl click and drag from the button to your First Responder/Class object). Edit: VB is slightly easier to create a click method from an object but having used it to develop a Windows 8 style app I feel like Interface Builder is simpler overall. VB required me to write a LOT of XAML even when I was dragging objects on to the UI and double clicking. With Interface Builder all standard UI layout can be done without writing any code.
