wvenable on April 9, 2010 | parent | context | favorite | on: Why Apple Changed Section 3.3.1

This reads like an apology for posting his previous blog entry about Section 3.3.1.

He's wrong about MonoTouch; It lets you code in the .NET language, yes, but it still targets the iPhone APIs. By the same logic, they should ban C and C++ because you can write iPhone applications and Windows applications in it.

He says "Adobe’s goal isn’t to help developers write iPhone apps" which is just silly. Adobe's customers are developers and it's in their best interest to help their customers make iPhone apps. Their technology is Flash so that's how they do it. It's really Apple that doesn't want to help developers by restricting their choices.

That's Objective C and C++. You can't program in those for Windows, they are pretty much Apple languages despite things like gnustep.

You can't program in C++ for Windows? What in the world am I doing with all these Visual C++ books, then?

"Objective C and C++" is "Objective C and Objective C++".
