[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1420782, member: 71075"] I fully agree. However, for someone brand new to programming, it might not hurt to use a simpler language to learn the basics (variables, OOP, control statements, etc.) while learning the corresponding Obj-C ones. As I said earlier though, my dislike of C like syntax clouds my judgment. For all I know, TM will love Obj-C syntax. ;) Absolutely! Programming can be fun, frustrating, rewarding and disheartening all at the same time. I can't tell you the number of times I've gotten stuck with an error only to find out that I forgot a single character somewhere which leads me to smack my head and feel relieved. It will take perseverance some days but the end product will be worth it if it's done well. Good point. As someone who doesn't do iOS development, I can only talk from a general perspective which would explain why I skipped over this. However, I still think you should wait until you determine that this is indeed what you want to do. As an alternative, have you considered doing this as a web application? You can do some mighty fine things with web tools, you'd get cross platform support and web apps perform reasonably well (not native application well but respectably so). Plus, it's free and you don't have to get Apple's approval. [/QUOTE]
