What language should I start with to start developing iOS apps?
If I want to develop iPhone apps, should I learn Python first or just go straight to objective C or learn something else? I have 0 programming skills and have only done some web development.
Added (1). I have a Mac and Xcode.
When just learning programming, it's better to be taught and have someone to ask questions to directly but if that's not available then I would recommend starting with Python to get a feel for what programming is. Python is a high level language just like C++, etc. And it is very easy to learn.
But iOS uses Objective-C for it's app development. If you want to jump at it right away then learn Objective-C, but do know that Objective-C isn't as nice and friendly as Python when starting out.
I was a programmer analyst for 25 years and know many programming languages.
A number of languages have borrowed syntax from C, and I always assumed Objective-C was one of them, but I recently saw some examples of Objective-C and discovered it is a very unusual language.
So, there are 2 ways of looking at it.
1) Since you have no programming experience, you probably would like to start with an easier language, and for that I'd recommend Python.
2) Since you seem to have a target in mind, perhaps you should start with your target of Objective-C. If you have difficulty, you could always jump to Python and later return to Objective-C.

- Would playing The Sims in another language be a good way to learn that language? I play The Sims a lot anyway. There's a lot of volcabulary like household objects, emotions, everyday tasks etc This wouldn't be my only way of learning btw. I also have a learning French iphone app and a friend who is fluent.
- When developing apps for iPhone and iPad? Do you recommend me having at least iPod touch? Or both iPod touch and iPad? I have neither, but I'm If I go to Apple Store and ask they will of course say "yes you need both iPod touch and iPad"
- What's the best way to learning Objective-C for developing iPhone apps? C/C++ first? From where? How long will this take for a relatively simple app (somewhat like a workout logger application)?
- I'm going to start re selling thing, where should i start? Okay so i have items new (phone cases, chargers, clothes, etc. ) but i don't know where to exactly start instagram or twitter or ebay or amazon? I want to be local maybe but ill ship if i have too. & how much should i list items for? example would $8 be a good price for a new iphone 5/5s/5c charger that is 5 ft. everything would be new shirts price around $5 -$10? i want every thing to be at a reasonable price.
