Not only that, but as a recent .Net newbie I can tell you that a lot of .Net API concepts are taken from Cocoa (almost literally, in some case).
That's quite strange for me (being programming .NET for several years), hence .NET is more 'like' Java, than Obj-C. Even more if we are talking about the concepts. Take as example [[MyClass alloc] init] approach, which has no analogue in .NET.


So it is much easier to go from .Net to Cocoa (or Cocoa to .Net as in my case) than using procedural frameworks on one platform (such as Carbon on Mac or MFC on Windows) and object oriented on the other platform (Cocoa or .Net).

Knowing .NET, if I had no C++ experience in the past, I would probably never look Obj-C at all :) That's all, of course, IMHO...

You are talking about languages: C# versus Obj-C.

I am talking about framework concepts and APIs.

It is true that C# language is Java-like, but .Net framework is Cocoa- like.

It takes a day or two to learn and use C# or Obj-C. It takes a lot more to learn and use API. So it is better to go with the destination framework which is closest to the source framework.
