I know little bit C Programming and Java. I want to start hard study on Objective-C and all other stuff that needed for Apple App and Game development, But I don't have any MacBook or iMac where I can learn them with xCode. I have just a iPhone 5.

Can anyone please let me know, how can I process on my Windows/Ubuntu computer?

Thank you,

John

  • try visual studio 2015 Community RC and select to install tools for apache cordova during the installation, then create your first multi-platform app. – Kenneth Li Jun 05 '15 at 19:04

Working on PC always have some difficulties, my advise is go and buy a mid price level Mac mini. Probably you can connect your monitory with it.

  • OK Ra John, no worries, everything is possible, then try apache cordova with Visual Studio. Promise me, when you earn your first money (mean few freelance jobs), go and buy a Mac mini! Then you'll understand what I mean ;) – MGY Jun 05 '15 at 19:24
  • Sure, Thank you for your solution :) @Gyer – Ra John Jun 05 '15 at 19:38

If you are a newer developer, it will be easier and a more efficient use of your time to learn Apple's new language, Swift. I don't believe the rumors that Apple is planning to phase objective-C out any time soon, but I know from experience that it is much easier to go from Java to Swift than to objective-C, especially considering that objective-C has little benefit over swift in programming for iOS.

You can download the Swifty app on your phone today for free to start learning swift.

  • I saw some tutorial of Swift but they seems I need a Mac computer to program on Swift. – Ra John Jun 05 '15 at 19:40
  • You need a Mac to program in Xcode but you can still practice on your phone. If you really want to start programming for iOS, you can look into www.macincloud.com, which allows you to rent a virtual Mac on a monthly basis, but that gets expensive. I agree that your best bet would be buying a Mac or finding one you could use. – steffeydev Jun 05 '15 at 19:58
  • You should also look into Silver from Remobjects, which may let you program swift through a plugin to visual studio. Sorry I just remembered this. – steffeydev Jun 05 '15 at 20:00
