Comment on First Glance at Objective-C and the iPhone SDK (by a Java and C Developer)parent

Comments

I totally agree. All the quirks and idiosyncrasies of ObjC go away after a week of coding in it. What's more difficult to adopt is Apple's Cocoa framework. Coming from a background of most UI frameworks, Cocoa is just simply different from anything else out there. You're gonna find yourself going to developer.apple.com and stackoverflow.com for even the most basic tasks. It requires a different way of thinking about problems because the solutions are so different. Developers who have only dabbled in MVC will find themselves forced to adopt MVC and all its overhead for applications large and small.

A lot of my problems with learning Cocoa was when I fought the framework. Don't fight the framework, save yourself time.
