  • I do, yet do not, like Objective-C

    Posted on May 8th, 2005 Arthur No comments

    After playing around with Cocoa (Objective-C) for a couple of days, the feelings about it are mixed. I do not like it for the following reasons:

    1) There is no official documentation of the language where you can learn the syntax and standards.
    2) The documentation that there is is sparse and spread over the internet in a thin layer.

    But I do like it because:

    1) The language is so flexible (much more than C/C++) and from my little experience easy to work with. (Relative to C)
    2) Creating a GUI is a simple as using a Interface Builder application where you can drag and drop widgets and create complex interfaces without writing a single line of code. (Better docs would be nice though)

    So Obj-C is nice. I still like PHP and Python better but they are scripting languages. I’m trying to learn the world of C/C++/Obj-C as fast as possible for the upcoming wxPHP project.
