[QUOTE="dcs.79c, post: 1630873, member: 333068"] [B]If your looking for something like Java, then why not code in Java? the most popular IDE's are Netbeans and Eclipse, so Google them for more info.[/B] I have Netbeans installed on my mini & on my laptop. I have one of those "Learn Java in 24 hours" books. I'm intrigued by the graphics capability of JavaFX. I want to learn that as well. Swift, itself, doesn't deal with pointers, right? But since Objective-C & C++ & C DO deal with pointers & they can be incorporated into Swift, Swift has to deal with pointers. I read on the 'net about a bridging header that has to be used to incorporate Objective-C & C++ & C code into Swift. On websites I've compared Swift syntax to Objective-C syntax. Swift syntax is less cryptic than Objective-C syntax. That's why I was initially intrigued by Swift. But after reading about bridging headers & other stuff, I decided that Swift isn't for me. Swift limits me to Apple. I'd rather learn Java & JavaFX because they are universal. [B]I also came from Basic and Visual Basic, and the nearest thing to that in an Object Oriented language is Xojo, that used to be called Real Basic, very similar to VB6 in it's syntax. [/B] I tried it when it was called RealBasic. I don't know if I want to spend $300. Besides, there are no hardcover books on Xojo. [/QUOTE]
