Unopened. The benefit of learning C++ (for someone who want to
understand Cocoa) is not zilch, it is negative.
Let's leave the language wars out of this. Certainly there are
valid reasons to understand the language that the other 95% of the
industry uses.
It is no secret I heartily hate C++ (since I have to use the blasted
thing pretty often and it is a royal PITA for someone spoilt by a
decent language), but my comment had really nothing to do with that.
The sole (and important) meaning was:
***
Even if C++ was hundred times better than ObjC in any aspect, still
learning C++ and ObjC at the same time would be quite confusing and
each one would be a hurdle for the other. The approaches, though at
the first look similar, are deeply and in an extremely important way
different.
***
Aside that, I actually do recommend to learn at least basics of C++
(and also Java), just to know how this or that is solved elsewhere.
Nevertheless, **not at the same time** when one learns ObjC.
