[QUOTE="Mark FX, post: 1630248, member: 211556"] Correct Xcode is an IDE and not a programming language. You can code Swift and Objective-C with Xcode, and yes you can code Applescript and ApplescriptObjC with Xcode as well. You may be wondering what ApplescriptObjC is, it is a new language that Apple introduced in Mountain Lion that has developed over the last couple of years, and it is a combination of Applescript and Objective-C syntax, that enables you to use the Cocoa Frameworks on OS X, to build full blown Apps with a UI in the Applescript language. And yes you can also compile and use both C and C++ in Xcode, but no you can't use Java in Xcode at present, but my understanding is that Apple plan to introduce the Java Script language in the future. I'm guessing your new to programming, so before deciding on what language to learn, decide what type of programmes you want to make. If you want to create iOS Apps, then Objective-C and Swift are the only truely native languages for iOS, so learn them in that order. If you want to create OS X Apps, then both of the above are also the correct choices, or if you want to keep it simple, then Applescript and ApplescriptObjC are a good starting point, and ideal for learning the cocepts of programming. If you want to make cross platform Apps. i.e. Windows Linux and OS X then Java or C++ are the professionals choice, and you'll also need Java for Android. So in short, decide what you want to achieve, and on what platforms, before deciding on your learning curve. Regards Mark [/QUOTE]
