Objective-C is a nice language once you get used to it, and the
learning curve is not steep. If you know both C and object-oriented
programming principles, you should be doing well in a few days. Get
the O'Reilly Objective-C Pocket Reference. Read up on "categories"
and how messaging really works. Realize that there are no namespaces
in Objective-C, beyond adding a prefix of your choosing to all of
your class names. There ya go. Now it's just another framework to learn.
John Stiles typically recommends doing your "back end" coding in C++,
and building a Cocoa/Objective-C/Objective-C++ GUI. That may actually
be the best route for you, since you already know C++. You should
still learn Objective-C and Cocoa, of course, because it'll make your
GUIs better, and easier to create for you.
