[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1239840, member: 89124"] Except for maybe using CygWin (or possibly DevC++ if its version of compiler supports Obj-C), you won't be learning Objective-C on the Windows platform - it's not a language used by Windows. C and C++ are the same across platforms so you can learn that in windows (learning GUI programming isn't necessary unless you want to learn how to develop for windows, as all of the libraries you will use will be different - not including differences in design philosophy, and of course, now adays, Microsoft wants you to use C# for Windows dev). For iOS development (iPhone and iPad) you won't be using Visual Basic - it's not the language used for iOS apps. You will need to use Objective-C. You will also need to use a machine with OSX (ie: a Mac) as that's how you will use XCode (the IDE package with compiler and simulator to develop apps for the iPhone/iPad/iPod (the iOS platforms)). There are some cross platform libraries available for Windows systems, but they are expensive and aren't nearly as full featured as coding for the device through XCode on a Mac (and AFAIK do not support VB).
