Ask HN: developing for iphone?
Hi everybody,
I want to ask if anyone has tried developing for iphone. how steep is the learning curve for objective C, development tools, etc if you are coming from C,C++,C#, Visual Studio, Eclipse?
- tvon 17y agoIf you want to get your feet wet in Objective-C and Cocoa-like API's (assuming you don't have a Mac), I suggest taking a look at GNUstep: http://www.gnustep.org/ http://www.gnustep.org/.
- soc 17y agoI had a similar background and it took just a couple of weeks to get the basics down. I would just start by trying some of the online tutorials for obj-c/iphone and/or an iphone sdk book. Start writing a few simple apps and you will be up to speed in no time. Also, if you are interested in gaming the cocos2d library is very helpful.
