I agree with you about needing to teach low level things like data structures and algorithms, but I don't see why teaching Objective-C would be a bad idea. If anything it's lower level than Java in that you can still teach people about pointers and memory allocation, etc.
- pj 17y agoI don't think it's a bad idea. I suppose I did imply that with my tone. My thoughts were more inline with it being a fad and very narrowly focused more than it being bad. It'll be critical to get kids interested in programming and if they have an iPhone and can get excited about producing apps that run on them and make their lives better, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just not quite as generic as C++ or something like that.
