I am a relatively old programmer, but have been away from coding for a while (15 - 20 years). I used to work in Pascal and Basic (and know the basics of Fortran and RPG-IV). I began learning C three years ago, but have been told that C++ is the future of that language (that and it is required for a Computer Engineering Dgree, which I am working on)... I have been learning C++ on a PC with Visual Studio 6... Not bad as an IDE goes, but since I own a Mac, and most of my friends own Macs... I have been wondering about XCode, and what it is like compared to Vis Studio 6?
Can anyone enlighten me on where a god place to begin would be. I have been looking for an O'Reilly book on XCode, but have not found one yet. I have found two on Carbon adn Cocoa, but none specifically for XCode. I am guessing that I will need to look at a publisher other than O'Reilly to find a book specifically for XCode.. Aince my school cirriculum describes classes that I will be taking in languages like LISP, Smalltalk, and others that I have never heard of (That suposedly XCode supports), I was wondering if someone could enlighten me... I have also heard of a compiler/IDE called Eclipse that is good for C/C++, what is up with it? Matthew Bailey
