Objective C aaaaaahhhhh
Thanks Swift
what is the best place to learn objective c or swift
azsdf
I am wondering.. How long would it take to learn and build a decent media player for example, if I know nothing about programming?
im not sure if he have hands
what is best language for making Mac desktop software? is there language for both Mac and windows?
Swift, you should learn Swift first, ’cause it’s powerfuller than Swift.
this guy looks awkward and worried lol is he alright?
Fortunately it works side by side and you can mix the two. Now that swift is at version 2 I’ve started building my new projects in it. But when I hire iOS developers I do require that they know Obj-C. Too much existing code out there, like you said.
love your videos…..i will like to make a little request please
can you share some books on objective c with me (good ones for beginners) Note, they must be free…..?….preferably from deitel…..i will appreciate

It hasn’t even been 30 years for iOS lol
Question here guys, please answer me, I will be getting a job interview not too far from now and its about an internship of learning how to do iOS apps. I am very very good using objective-c already have been working on this market for 3 years almost and have a vast experience in all the process of releasing a software product, also I consider myself a very quick learner and well known of the SCRUM methods for efficient work. My question is because this internship is oriented for people who want to learn something I already know will I be asked about C* or C++ in the interview? ’cause its been ages since I used either both even though C* is kind of similar. (if u wonder why I applied for this even though I already know, is because I might get a job in US just by doing good, the fear is in the technical interview thats all)
Learn both! I’ve been a SQL Dev for over a decade and I never thought I’d cross over to PL/SQL for any reason and it has happened on many occasions. The subtle differences can keep you up for days! So it helps to be open-minded and learn a little of both.
I though he was gunna cry for the entire video. Still a great answer though
Does android development require mastery in java ?
Which is harder to learn Swift or OBJECTIVE C?
will apple make swift to use on non-apple device too?
i want to learn swift but apple keeping changing the language. i was learning 2 , now 3 is out, any help pls?
Killed it bro.

im mac miller xD
Wow! You did a great job laying out the benefits of both languages! Just liked and subscribed! I’m confident your channel will be a great resource for my projects!
preferably neither
It always amazes me how software engineers must use the programming language rules in order to get the computer to do things they want, but when it comes to using proper written English in video descriptions, they write things that say, in this instance, that there is only one iOS dev, and it’s this guy. Comma rules don’t exist to annoy people; they exist to make meaning clear.
Here’s the rule: Put commas around non-essential modifiers, and leave them out if the modifiers are essential. Basic fucking grammar.
It looks like an Apple Manager got a gun pointed to him behind the camera lol. Dude is nervous af.
Is he ok?
Is the answer still the same (>1 year has passed)? Swift programming language looks so much neater than Objective-C. (I learned C and C++ at school so far)
Hi Ask A Dev,
All videos in your channel are so interesting, but could you modify or add the right transcript (subtitle) for this video and other videos in “Ask a Dev” channel?
That’ll help me understand your video more easily. I’m not good at English, so I cannot follow your videos completely.
Thank you so much.
Fuck that Swift is the future
I don’t have any clue of programming so when I decided to learn I chose swift so I can have the principals of programming I need, in the easier way and to know how it actually work. like a gate to enter the programming world… Then to learn objective-c, Java, etc..
If you wanna build your own apps, I say go for Swift. If you wanna work as an iOS developer on other companies, you’ll probably need to know some Obj-C.
Just keep in mind that programming languages don’t matter, people only care about the final product, not about how it was made.
I think it would be good to learn Swift instead of objective C, Swift is capturing market and in future swift is more charming in term of money and learning..
The Question taht i have is there is the Auto type in C++ and waht did the change in C++14 in auto type ?
And an nother Question ist waht should i use to make guis whit C++ ? Ultimate or Qt are waht is ther whit taht i can make guis?
I work primarily whit Qt but for taht I must buy an licence to sale my programms an tahts a monthly price taht i must pay for it .
#askadev With so many Frameworks available for creating Native Apps using Html, Css & JS – is it worth Learning Company’s established (native Languages) Like Obj C, Swift, C# or Java . when you can write once and deploy in all platform with the same code base (source code)? – Thanks!
+Israel Meshileya We hear ya! We added CC and will do so from here on out, thanks for watching!
Objective C is pretty much a requirement if you want to work for a company
You MIGHT be able to get away with just Swift in a indie company
You need just pray to Apple going down, because ObjectiveC and Xcode are the worst thing that was done.Programming in this language and ide is a scourge.
Just learn the basics of Objective-C and go learn Swift. Because company’s will search for Developers over 5 years who can program in Swift with 5 year experience and YOU can be ONE of these programmers. It’s a gift from Apple you know.. 🙂
This is a perspective of someone new to IOS programming but I see Apple pushing Swift as the big new thing. The new “cool” language to develop with. And it does look to have some really nice features. Why not just go with the fun of learning Swift and see how that works out. If you find out later you need Objective-C, then you can learn that too. No need to start out thinking there is some set path you will need to follow. Things in technology change rapidly and there will always be something else you need to learn anyway. I say go with Swift.
What is the best Mobile Game Development platforms to start learning and where should a dev start to learn? #askadev
If you know C or C++, then learn Objective-C first. Else, you can start with Swift, which i personally find easier.
