Start c-obj learning curve the C/C++ required prior?

I want start program with iOS natively but I know only web languages/PHP and java and java/android. I also programmed using PhoneGap/HTML5 for Android/iOS etc.
Should start learn c-obj & xcode immediately or go for C or C++?????
By the way i have an old mac book pro Lion 10.7.4 OS X - xcode 4.5 - can not install more than that
Should buy a newest & recent Mac? What Mac you recommend for  iOS Dev may expand to Mac App Dev?
BTW C-Obj also used for Mac OS X development or...used?

While knowing C before getting into Objective-C would be a help, Objective-C is built on C, to learn  enough C  for it to be a help will take a fair amount of time, time better spent just getting into Objective-C and Xcode.
For programmers that do not know C I recommend the book Programming in Objective-C (6th Edition) by Stephen G. Kochan
The book assumes no prior C knowledge and  starts out writing command line programs in order to avoid the UI which can be difficult to learn at first.. What C is absolutely needed is introduced when it is required.
The last third of the book introduces the Cocoa libraries and the UI.
good luck

  • How steep is the learning curve for InDesign?

    5-1
    I am a book author and previous works are out of print. I have scanned and digitized the books but need to revise and re-print several that are filled with color photos, using on-dermand technology. SOem of these books will also be pub;ished as e-books with embedded features like videos. Is it silly for me to try to learn how to lay out and prepare for printing a 200+ page book, or is the learning curve so steep that I am better off hiring an agency to do this work? I have never used Pagemaker so this is a whole new experience for me. Need advice PLEASE!  THANKS to all - Joel

    Do you enjoy solving puzzles (page layout is often about fitting too much stuff into too little space, and making it look good), are you a little geeky (InDesign is a very complex piece of software, and you need to understand the technical stuff as much as the artisitic to be really successful) and do you have experience working with images (you mentioned a lot of photos)? Would you consider the challenge of learning the software fun or a pain?
    Any reasonbly bright person (and I hve no reason to think you aren't at the very least reasonably bright) can learn to use InDesign, but if you are doing so only because you think you "have to" you'd probably be better off hiring a pro. On the other hand, if you like a challenge and want to put a few weeks or even months into learning what you need to know, then go for it. Aside from books, you'll find some free tutorials on the web, good, but not free, tutorials at lynda.com, possibly some good classes at your local community college or adult education, and plenty of free advice right here when you get to the point where you have more complex questions.
    I used to teach InDesign at my local community college. We offered regular semester-long courses which were worthwhile and some six-hour classes that were a joke. I teach the production staff of the student newspaper what they need to know to produce that particular project in an afternoon, but they don't get fluent for a few weeks, and they'd mostly be lost, even after a semester, if asked to branch out to something new like a book.
    You mention your books will get distibution in electronic format instead of or in addition to print, and that's an additional layer of complexity to learn (and you really need to understand the requirements and the limitations for producing electronic publications, in my opinion, before starting your project if you want everything to go smoothly). I think the question isn't so much how steep is the curve, but will you enjoy the climb, or do you just want to get to the top as quickly as possible. If you're not sure, download the trial (Ok, folks, I know one of you bookmarked where the CS5 trials are hidden for the next couple of weeks) and take it for a spin so you have a better idea waht you're in for before you shell out the big bucks.

  • How steep is the learning curve for FCP?

    Hi!
    I have been using iMovie for years and want to learn how to drive FCP. Can anyone give me an idea for the 'steepness' of the learning curve?
    FCP does seem a lot more complex than iMovie, at least at first glance.
    cheers,
    Hans-Martin Wagner

    Don't forget anything... that's just silly. Editing is editing, regardless of what application you use. Some people think that knowing everything there is to know about a program will suddenly make them a good editor. It won't. Editing is an art. Your question, although totally prudent in your situation, is like asking someone what the learning curve is when moving from pencil drawing to painting. You don't have to forget how you hold and use a pencil to learn how to hold and use a paint brush.
    The learning curve is entirely dependent on how well you learn new things. When you learn French, for instance, you don't forget how to speak English, do you? No, you translate. You find the similarities, and accommodate.
    Here is my advice, for what it may be worth. If you say you know iMovie, and that it does everything you need, then make a nice long list of the things you do in iMovie. Be as detailed as you can be, in your workflow, and then pick up a manual and look up those things. You don't need to know everything that FCP is capable of. You only need to know the things you want to do with it. As you get going, you will inevitably discover the rest.
    I have found that all computer applications are more or less the same. The more apps you use, the easier it is to learn others. The tools are in different locations, and may have different names, but they do the same things. Learn to translate. Don't start over, though...

  • Bought my first Mac and am curious about the learning curve for FCE HD

    After 30+ years in the DOS/Windows/PC world, I've ordered my first Mac -- a Mac Pro -- with Final Cut Express HD.
    I was wondering if other switchers could give me an idea of the kind of learning curve I'm looking at. I have used Sony Vegas Video almost exclusively for the past 5-6 years.
    Thanks!

    I have no experience with Vegas so don't know what the similarities and differences will be.
    People like Tom Wolsky (the main contributor to this forum) will be able to advise you on that.
    I came from Premiere 6.5 and found the transition reasonably quick and pain-free.
    I would suggest that you get an editing workshop book. Tom has written several but of course you will need FCE 3.5.
    He guides you easily step by step from the complete basics (connecting the camera etc.) to a high level of editing skill.

    While you are there, take a look at the rest of his site, which has a useful FAQ etc.

    Some App Store employee's "accidentally" (but in good faith) issued refunds to a few users who had purchased Logic 9 within 30 days prior to the mid-July release of Logic-X. Word quickly came down from Apple HQ that this was against App Store policy and the practice was immediately stopped.

  • PureMVC, and the learning curve. Please share your thougths

    Hello Everyone,
    So I have decided to get my head wrapped around the PUREMVC framework. It has been a week and yes some of it makes sense yet I still struggle with it. I would like to know if anyone else share the same sentiments as I do. I have been able to find couple online tutorial on it, but this one makes more sense than others:
    http://hubflanger.com/building-a-flash-site-using-puremvc/
    What advice can you pass with regard to overcoming the learning curve. The more I try absorbing it, the more frustrated I get.
    Thanks a lot.

    i've used the mvc design pattern (not puremvc) in projects and i'm learning to code for the iphone (which uses the mvc design pattern) and i still find it adds more hurdles than than it overcomes.
    so, i wouldn't feel badly about struggling with that particular implementation of mvc.   and like everything, the more you work on something more you'll understand.  but the benefits of using a design pattern come in the future (maybe).  not while you're working on a project (unless it's collaborative).

  • Dream weaver Learning Curve!

    Hello! OK Firstly sorry for the long posting!. I am learning
    CS3 Flash + Dreamweaver, a experienced Illustrator and Photoshop
    user. In the process of creating a website, and I would really
    appreciate a heads-up with any top tips or suggestions to help my
    learning curve!.
    DESIGN DESCRPTION
    Screen Format 720px (L) 650px (W) Is this OK or should I
    consider a different dimension?
    Site Frame Structure
    The rectangle format will be 75% from the top edge to
    two-thirds down featuring changing flash background elements and
    text in dreamweaver related to clicked buttons. The remaining 25%
    will be the navigation area with a static background graphic
    constant through out the site with animated flash buttons that
    would like to change to help navigate the user through the 75%
    featured area. Hope that kind of makes sense?
    Based on that I can now try explain what I would like to
    achieve. Blank screen with a symbol to click to enter the website.
    75% area is seen as a flash animation and plays once
    completely. Playing a few frames continuously until a button is
    clicked 25% navigation area appears after the animation has played
    once revealing buttons and one button glowing to navigate the user.
    On clicking the button the 75% area is replaced with a slide
    in motion Graphic occupying the complete background 75% space. The
    idea is to appear as if you are moving forward from the left screen
    format edge to the right edge. Across all five buttons the same
    slide in motion will occur with a different background graphic.
    Across all 5 navigated areas I would like to feature copy in
    Dreamweaver (rather than as part of the animated file) My design is
    currently using Helvetica Regular
    14 point and leading 24 point. How can I create text in
    Dreamweaver with the design. Or should I place type in my flash
    file?
    Are there any templates I could use to achieve this effect?
    Any top tips creating a site like this from scratch?
    My design layout is currently in Illustrator and Photoshop
    CS3. Looking to utilize CS3; new compatible program features.
    Flash Animation Question?. I would like to create a blink
    effect Revealing an image. For instance the word CHOCOLATE
    Appears and vanishes with a blinking motion. Any suggestions?
    Search Engine Friendly
    The reason for using text in Dreamweaver was to try and
    achieve Optimum search results. Ideally this is the way I would
    like to go, and would appreciate help with my limited knowledge.
    If I call my site CHOCOLATE, rather than my not very well
    know name, will this have a greater search engine impact?. My
    domain name is (XXX CHOCOLATE)
    Can I paste Keywords in the background as blind text to
    impact on my Search results?
    Any top tips in naming files, can I save image files as key
    word names For instance.. CHOCOLATE LOVE… BELGIUM CHOCOLATE
    etc
    Once again really appreciate any help to aid the learning
    curve!

    Don't learn 'dreamweaver'. Learn HTML and CSS. THEN
    Dreamweaver will make
    sense intuitively.
    > DESIGN DESCRPTION

    Screens come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. As do web
    browsers. If you
    must pick a specific width, 720px is fine. Don't worry about
    height. People
    can scroll just fine.
    > Site Frame Structure
    If my frame you mean HTML Framesets, rethink that. Frames are
    usually a bad
    idea.
    > buttons that

    Unless this is entirely a flash web site, avoid flash-based
    navigation. It's
    less accessible, less Google friendly, and much more work to
    maintain.
    > Blank screen with a symbol to click to enter the
    website.
    Why start with a blank screen? Just let them get to the home
    page to begin
    with.

    At this point, it really seems like you are making a Flash
    presentation
    moreso than an HTML web site. As such, you might have better
    luck asking
    these questions in the Flash newsgroup.
    > Search Engine Friendly
    Basic rule of thumb: The more flash you use, the less
    search-engine-friendly
    your site will be. You CAN make Flash search-engine-friendly,
    but it takes
    work and knowledge.
    > If I call my site CHOCOLATE, rather than my not very
    well know name
    > Will this have a greater search engine impact?. My
    domain name is (XXX
    > CHOCOLATE)
    If you use the term 'choclate' then people searching for
    'chocolate' would
    be more likely to find you than if you didn't use that term.
    That said,
    'chocolate' is a pretty generic term. As is 'xxx'
    > Can I paste Keywords in the background as blind text to
    impact on my
    > Search results?
    That will likely hurt your search results. Google considers
    that a form of
    spamming.

  • Learning Curve of LE7

    Please answer the following questions: I greatly appreciate any and all opinions.
    1. Are GB3 songs easily, without loss of data, nondestructively no matter what the track has on it in GB, compatible and launched into LE7 and sound as if they were being played in GB? are there any quirks in the transition of loading GB songs into LE7?
    2.Can you tell me if the quality of software instruments of LE7 is so much better than those in GB?
    3.What more in terms of loops or software instruments or synthesizers built in does LE7 have that make it more musical than GB?
    4.Can i modulate/alter/fool around with loops in LE7 to lets say reverse them, change their sound, add effects to them and the like without a tremendous learning curve?
    5.I know this sounds rediculous but once i have the GB song in LE7 if i simply want to ameliorate some software instruments, modulate effects and the like ( im expecting more options to make the sounds more interesting and varied ) but not do too much more are we talking weeks to learn it or months?
    6. Do you know if the VIDEO training really makes the transition from GB to LOGIC EXP easier?
    7. Is there anyone who has an example of a song they did in LE7 that started out in GB3...
    im greedy for answers... really time pressured and not ready for a steep learning curve.
    thanks so much
    g

    Glenn,
    Before you consider my responses, you need to know my context. I've been well into various kinds of amateur recording techniques since my high school years (70's), and some elective classes in electronic synthesis in college (on a then-state of the art ARP 2600 and TEAC 4-track RtR's). I started on Macs in 1986 and because of my longstanding interest in electronic music (both prog rock and classic electronica, ca. the 1940's and 50's) I learned basic functions of some early sequencing programs, but I never personally got into it until finally I started with GB only a year or two ago. I liked GB so much that I quickly stepped up to LE. Last fall I took a recording class at my local community college to learn more about DSP (on Pro Tools). A couple of weeks ago I finally kicked in the bucks for Logic Pro. So keep in mind that I have still a LOT to learn. That said:
    1. Are GB3 songs easily, without loss of data,
    nondestructively no matter what the track has on it
    in GB, compatible and launched into LE7 and sound as
    if they were being played in GB? are there any quirks
    in the transition of loading GB songs into LE7?
    I can't answer this ABSOLUTELY "no matter what" -- because your mileage may vary -- but the few GB files I moved into LE all came up in comparable instruments. If I lost any data or settings, I never noticed it (but note that my GB projects were very, VERY simple pieces). The good news is that when changes occurred, they usually sounded better to me. And the best is that Logic (even Express) gives you SCADS of ways to tweak it all, FAR beyond GB's rudimentary controls.
    Simple suggestion: Keep backups of everything archived in GB format until you've worked the file up in LE. Keep them until you feel satisfied that you know for yourself what works and what doesn't in the conversion. If LE isn't working out for you, or if you don't need it, fine, stick with GB (I doubt that'll happen).
    2.Can you tell me if the quality of software
    instruments of LE7 is so much better than those in
    GB?
    3.What more in terms of loops or software instruments
    or synthesizers built in does LE7 have that make it
    more musical than GB?
    Regardless of subjective assessments, Logic lets you DO so much more with whatever you have. And beyond that, even LE comes loaded with gobs of presets that make GB look like it was Made By Mattell.
    4.Can i modulate/alter/fool around with loops in LE7
    to lets say reverse them, change their sound, add
    effects to them and the like without a tremendous
    learning curve?
    5.I know this sounds rediculous but once i have the
    GB song in LE7 if i simply want to ameliorate some
    software instruments, modulate effects and the like
    ( im expecting more options to make the sounds more
    interesting and varied ) but not do too much more are
    we talking weeks to learn it or months?
    Not ridiculous at all. Simple answer: If you're good with GB, you'll probably get the basics of LE in weeks. If you're completely fluent in GB, maybe even just a few late nights will do it — to get the basic skills (artistry costs more).
    Think of the learning curve like that for learning chess. It's simple enough to learn how each piece moves, and a few strategies here and there, but the art of doing it, discovering all the options, knowing when to use what, and (maybe more importantly) when NOT to process something -- ahhh, that takes time and experimenting. But yeah, you'll get it.
    For my part, on those nights when I start getting into it, the more I find of what I CAN do, the more difficult it is for me to turn off the **** iMac and go to bed.
    6. Do you know if the VIDEO training really makes the
    transition from GB to LOGIC EXP easier?
    Dunno. Sorry. For some $35-40, I did find Sitter's book VERY helpful.
    7. Is there anyone who has an example of a song they
    did in LE7 that started out in GB3...
    I've taken several of my GB pieces and punched 'em up with Logic's better EQ, more alaborate and efficient automation, etc.
    Good luck!

  • OAF Developer Learning Curve

    What is your experience in the time it takes for a Developer to get up to speed on OAF?
    How important is prior 'apps tech' developer experience with the R11i eBusiness Suite to the learning curve with OAF?
    Are there non-Oracle University instructor-led or self study classes available on OAF?

    The learning curve depends on where you start.
    I would say, prior Java experience with Java is a requirement as OAF involves substantial amount of coding to implement business logic.
    Any Self -Service applications experience with prior versions (like Framework 11.5.7, AOL/J ) may aid during learning.
    As for having 11i experience, need to have some basic 11i tech experience(i.e AOL, AOL/J) to deploy and integrate the development with 11i.
    Have not come across any non-oracle Classes for OAF yet!!.
    Hope this helps.

  • Learning curve for a non techie-Business Catalyst. Two specific questions.

    Hello everyone,
    Thanks for reading. I am a non techie who is looking at website development as a secondary skill.ie. having the know how to atleast relay my ideas to web developers and ideally to be able to tweak and in the end able to create my own websites.
    In this regard, I feel Business Catalyst is an excellent tool, for people like me which mitiagtes the knowledge of coding to an certain extent. I am currently going through some of the content listed in the forums. Is there a book that provides end to end detailed steps of all the implementation to complete a fully functioning website and how much is the learning curve in this regard?
    Also,
    Business Catalyst offers all in one features, is it possible to use 3rd party in place of default tools for specific function, say use wordpress for blog and a different email marketing service?
    Have a good one.
    Thanks
    Satish

    I personally would tend to prefer wordpress for a small non-commercial website/blog. Its ecosystem of plugins is far more diverse than BCs and you get direct access to the code if you want. BC's blog and forum modules seem somewhat like afterthoughts designed by marketers for marketing, and there's some unevenness to the way they implement what HTML and templates you have access to and what you don't in different context, so to a degree wordpress gives you more fine-grain control over a site.
    The transverse of this is that with open source software you don't necessarily have the quality control or guarantee of long-term maintenance that you might with BC. Business Catalyst is far more initially optimized for business (obviously) and its servers can likely experience a higher load and greater uptime than you might get on a typical hosting service with wordpress.
    Wordpress is kind of notorious for being hackable, mostly because of its ubiquity, although if you work on it it can be secured to a reasonable degree I think -- I'm not aware of any security issues regarding Business Catalyst, apart from recent issues with the captcha and spam which might have been resolved with Akismet and Recaptcha (both of which you can also get on Wordpress obviously) but personally I don't like having all of my accounts linked with a single Adobe username/password.
    But then again, I have to trust that Adobe has their **** together and there isn't some festering zero-day sitting at the heart of all of it because the price you pay for playing in BC's sandbox is just that -- it's their sandbox. They're not releasing the code. If you can't change it with an existing module setting or can't hack around with with javascript then complaining until they fix it's your only option.
    In short, I think it depends on your needs. Neither is entirely the wrong answer, and both have their issues. I've been just as frustrated with some of the rendering bugs and limitations in BC as I have with the way Wordpress (IMHO) overdoes abstraction while simultaneously sticking with its horrendous code-and-content mixing template style. If you have inventory and need to push stock and don't really care about mucking around with server-side code or anything really complex than BC will probably work for you, and of course there are always sites like bcgurus and these forums to help out with edge cases.

  • Start a horizontal scroll in the middle of a table?

    Hello,
    My demanding users are at it again. Although I am learning alot but lest I digress;-) Lets say I have a tableview with 72 columns that is one month for each year spanning over 6 years. No biggie but instead of the horizontal scroll starting at the left most point I would like start the scroll in the middle (say at column 36 or something) of the tableview. So if my tableview starts at 03/2002 in column 1 and goes to 03/2008 in column 72 I want the horizontal scroll to start at 03/2005(current month)in column 36 each time the table is rendered. I am using MVC and the tableview iterator(which I love).
    I was hopeing that I could find something similar to a dropdown i.e. pre-populate a selected value and the dropdown starts at that selection not the top most one. Any one have any ideas where I could begin? I have searched this forum for 'horizontal' and 'scrolling' but no hits.
    TIA,
    Rich

    Hello!
    I gave the example from Thomas Ritter to the JS person here and he got it working. I can't take credit but I wanted to share it with the forum. Basically what happens is that the horizontal scroll will scroll to the right till the date column that is close to the current date. I say close to because some of the columns are in months so if the current date is 21-MAR-05 then the horizontal scroll will scroll right until MAR-05. Either way here is the code. As I said before I take no credit for it. I do have another question though. Anyone have any ideas how to change it so that I can pass it a date and have it scroll there instead of the current date?

  • Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

    Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
    That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

    First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]
    You also mentioned that Firefox crashes, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    #Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
    ''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it and select '''Submit'''.
    (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

    Learning curve / path from Go Live! to Dreamweaver; is it worth it?

    I'll be blunt, it's not worth "learning Dreamweaver" at all, if you don't understand html, css and basic javascripting prior to opening the program.
    Without those three things, DW becomes a monstrous time sink that allows you to produce rudimentary websites that your viewers and peers will scoff at.
    Now, if you do understand HTML and CSS (and to a lesser extent, javascript) running the DW tutorials from the Adobe site (hit F1 while in DW to open the Help site) will help you get up and running in no time and you'll be able to create some fairly advanced sites relatively quickly with current internet standards-compliant code.
    If you don't understand code and refuse to educate yourself, as Ben says, Muse would be the way to go.
