Cocoa OSX

i was thinking about learning some new programming lang. and thinking about Cocoa for some Apple Apps is it worth my while or should i just go with Java ?

Well Cocoa is an API, not a language.

You could certainly learn C++ or Objective-C for use with cocoa, and that would enable you to write most iPhone/Mac apps...

OpenGL is another option if you are looking into graphic programming like games etc...

I find Objective-C incredibly useful even for learning new languages, as the syntax is kind of "common": a base for other languages (well, in my mind)

thanks for that I learned C++ in College but i lost all touch of the Program and starting to get back into it that the problem with those things you have to get reading and working on it,

is Objective-C done with Visual C, is the syntax the same as C++ or is it more like Java ?

ObjectiveC is a superset of C. It is object oriented too, but not what you'd be used to with C++.

You need a Mac to write Cocoa applications.

Hmm how do I say this...

Objective-C syntax Looks a lot like Java, but it is practically C++, with out all the -> type of stuff you'd be used to

Yes and obviously you need XCode on a Mac to write & compile Objective-C
