Fighting the way the APIs and tools are set up is a sure fire way to get yourself a whole world of pain on any platform. Learn Objective-C (it's only a day or two's learning for an experienced coder, and it's a fairly nice language, even if it does lack some features, like a fair level of type safety, and parametric polymorphism); Learn to use Xcode; Learn to use Interface Builder (really, no matter how much your programmers instinct tells you to write code, IB saves enormous amounts of time); basically… Try it the "right" way before you figure out what the right amount of "wrong" way is. Thanks Tom Davie
FWIW, what I feel is most relevant to someone coming from "their own way of doing things" is in bold. Don't fight it. Find out what Apple's way is and then do it Apple's way. It might not make sense, but your levels of grief will be much lower once it becomes clear. |
