every language that isn't c-style looks weird as gently caress

i got over it for objective-c because it's mostly c-style with a bunch of brackets, but i'm having a hard time with python and stuff

and then i tried to learn ruby on rails because i wanted to make a quick website and everything about it was weird as gently caress. i am a little depressed that i can't pick this stuff up easily anymore :(

Looking at objective c's syntax and it looks pretty weird compared to java / c++. Is there a good book or website to learn objective c ,or would i be better off making little dumb programs on my own and use the official documentation?

its not bad at all once you get used to seeing brackets everywhere. I actually like it more than straight C or whatever because it's not really any harder to read and its pretty clear what each arg is unless its some custom method that was written by a dumb dumb.

if you just want like a super quick intro then http://rypress.com/tutorials/objective-c/index.html is pretty okay. stephen kochan's programming in objective c was mentioned and it's great. the big nerd ranch books are okay but i didn't really like them all that much. if you learn better by watching a teacher explain poo poo then go to itunes u and look up stanford's CS193P.

back when i "did" C# like 7 or 8 years ago i remember VS was pretty good about prompting what each arg did what if your method was properly documented. i think VS was one of those things that microsoft got right. took me a long time to warm up to xcode. probably because it was poo poo until a few years ago. Or maybe still is poo poo, i dunno.

i mean they JUST now integrated the GUI builder into the actual Xcode app in the last major revision. after only what, 10+ years to think about it?

even longer i guess. how long was projectbuilder around on nextstep. nobody said "hey this is a really dumb idea, launching a second app just to drag some widgets around", huh?

i don't really care if objc is verbose. I'd rather see a half sentence long method name with args interspersed than something like doAThing(a, e, i, o, u, y);

???

NSMutableArray *array = [NSMutableArray array];

or, if you aren't using ARC and want an owned object returned instead of an autoreleased one:

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

and if you've got stuff to throw in there you can probably do arrayWithObjects too, so one line instead of 2+
