I have a bunch of questions, I know that this forum isnt really development intensive, but Ive come to know some of you and would like to seek opinions/answers here first.
I have a legitimite registered copy of REALBasic, and of course I installed xcode, I also dug up numerous free online ebooks about C/C++ Etc.
So onto the questions.....
1.)The last programming I did was in basic as a child on an Apple IIe, so Id have to say Im an ultra curious beginner, Should I start in REALBasic and then move up to learning to use xcode?
2.)Is REALBasic worth having? is it powerful and useful enough to write simple useable applications? or will I totally abandon it as I learn C and eventually cocoa?
3.)What the heck is with all this C,C++,C#, and objective c stuff, AAAARRRGGGGHHHH which one am I looking into learning for purposes of advancing into learning cocoa?
I like REALBasics interface, and have worked through my first tutorial, it was fun, I opened Xcode and the interface and stuff look similar, so I hope Im taking the right route here.
Advice and opinions are appreciated and will be Well Met!!!!
Thanks in advance.
