A little bit about myself. I used to program 25 years ago using structured languages including assembler, ada, C. I recently changed careers and got into game design. I came out with 2 products I designed myself for Fury Software using their implementation of scripts. So now I am stepping up and we are pushing forward with iOS games for the company and myself. I am a windows person and have got my mac-mini to learn Objective C. My head is going to explode.
I have been at this for 3 weeks with Big Nerd Ranch books, Lynda.com, and other resources I am using. But I simply can't grasp my head around the syntax and format objective C is written in. Really I don't know why anyone would want to write code this way?! Seems a lot more work than its worth.
I actually looked at C++, a language I never learned, and I could understand its syntax far better and I could probably code in it right now with little help.
object.action ( parameter, parameter ) makes sense to me.
[object action:parameter action:parameter]
gives me a headache to look at
especially when it looks like this
[object [object action;parameter]:parameter action:parameter]
I am looking for a resource that will let me learn this in a different way.
Very frustrated person. If I'm in the wrong forum please redirect. Also I can't sign up as a developer for 3 weeks now? Says its down?!?!
I am almost at the point I want to get a cross-platorm software and code in C++.
