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.
Of course you are correct. It can be important to learn and know C+
+. But, taken in the context it was given, I agree with the
assertion. I think it would be counter-productive to try to learn C+
+ and Objective-C at the same time. The O-Oishnesses of the two
clash. I spend my time bouncing back and forth between the two on an
hour-by-hour basis. It hurts my head.
Especially if you are new to programming or O-O programming, learning
the two at the same time could be very confusing. If you already
knew Eiffel and Smalltalk (for example), then learning Obj-C and C++
together might not be that bad. But if you are new to it, there are
conceptual hurdles to get past that are high enough taken one at a time.
