Is Objective-C hard to learn?
C is about as close to the metal as you can get without writing assembly code, so you’d expect Objective-C to be very rigid, but in fact it’s a very fluid, dynamic runtime. Among other things, Objective-C lets you do function currying, adding and removing methods from classes at runtime, and reflection.
Do I still need to learn Objective-C?
I recommend you learn Objective-C when required. If you’d like to contribute, you’ll have to learn the language the code base is in. Typically though, Objective-C should only be learned if its required. Most new iOS apps would be fine just completely coded in Swift.
Is C++ harder than Objective C?
You can achieve essentially the same things in either language, but in my opinion the C++ syntax is simpler while some of Objective-C’s features make certain tasks (such as GUI design) easier thanks to dynamic dispatch.
Is it better to learn Swift or Objective C?
Objective-C has a superior runtime compared to Swift. It’s probably going to be several years before Swift can catch up. If you’re using powerful SDKs, Objective-C is also your best option here as well. I’d still recommend that new developers start off learning Swift.
How fast can you learn Xcode?
On your background, your overall knowledge, the amount of time you will dedicate to the subject. etc etc. But assuming you can dedicate about 3 hours a day to learning how to code in swift, it will take you about 6 months to reach a “Junior” level for a job.
Is it better to learn Swift or Objective-C?
How is Swift better than Objective-C?
Swift takes the nil code, and generates compiler error when programmers write bad code. With Swift, you can compile, and fix the errors while writing the code, which is not possible with Objective-C. As a result, Swift works better and faster compared to Objective-C when it comes to bug testing.
