Any C# & iOS developers out there?
I'm a long time C# guy, and now I've been thrown head first into learning iOS.
iOS seems really bizarre to me. The syntax, structure, XCode, etc, all see really strange.
To have a function defined like this
Employee *emp - [[Employee alloc] initWithID: empId
andName: fullName
andPayRate: payRate;
as compare to C#
var emp = new Employee(empId, fullName, payRate);
Just seems like it's WAAAAAAY too verbose. I already don't like it, which means I probably won't use it.
Add to that, I've always believed that the only good uses for Mac's are paperweights and door stops.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I thought iOS was an operating system, not a language. Anyway, this is gross.

Swift is the (recommended?) language.

I used to love Objective-C! (back when I using it.. ahem.. in 1995, on NeXT computers)
|
|
|
|
|
I have been working on Objective-C (legacy) project this month and still not getting used to reading the code. BTW your obj-c code is missing a closing ].
|
|
|
|
|
From the other replies I understand that's Objective-C (you don't write iOS, just like you don't write Windows or Android).
Why not use Swift, the replacement for Objective-C, or even C# and MAUI (or Xamarin if you don't want to be on the bleeding edge)?
|
|
|
|

I meant Obj-C
I'm being thrown into an existing project written in Obj-c

Same here. I was forced a Mac for my new work. More then a year later, I still hate the bloody thing.

Java is ancient crufty* stuff. 
free dictionary says*:
1. Trash, debris, or other unwanted matter that accumulates over time.
2. Unnecessary digital information that accumulates over time, such as unneeded files or obsolete lines of code in software:
Crufty - definition of Crufty by The Free Dictionary[^]

2 definitely describes Java.

OK, I'll bite. Why do so many folks here hate Java? I've never used it but could see doing so for certain types of applications. Is it that C# has now surpassed it, with better performance while still offering a good library and portability?
|
|
|
|

If you had programmed in it you'd likely hate it as well. Also, from a cyber security standpoint Java, even after all these years, is almost fundamentally as insecure as Flash player.

Java (the language) is actually really nice in many ways. Iβm (mostly) a C# developer (been using since 2001) and Java is very similar.
but honestly the ecosystem really is crusty.
I mean thereβs the whole thing about Microsoft being a Giant & controlling things but in many ways that helped C#.
Java, on the other hand feels like it wasnβt owned by one entity (and it wasnβt).
It feels like it goes in multiple directions to get the same result & it is very difficult to determine which one is the mainstream.
This is probably Oracleβs fault a lot. It definitely felt like they took ownership simply as a payday (thinking theyβd win the suit against Google & lots of $$$).
Not like they took it too make it better.
So there is that schism too. when you go to install the SDK which one do you select? OpenJava, Oracle or what? Itβs a very odd thing.
Then there are other things too like unit testing & coverage tools.
When you see the official sites and the backing for those things they look like some hacked up site from 1994 or something. Lots of things like that just make it a pain when you really go to do actual development that you have to support for a prod release.
Lots of cruft and half-way complete things and difficult old crusty documentation.
You only find this out when you get into it and need to do something that will be in prod.
If you just hobby around with it youβll think everything is okay because there is a lot of fun stuff and I really like the language.
Thatβs my experience anyways β which comes from having to support & rewrite a medium sized app that was written in 1997 or so.

On an embedded site I frequent I posted an article about whether C is coming to the end of it's life.
The old timers there said that they don't use or need C++ because of classes, inheritance and all that nonsense.
But when a new comer asks about getting started with Arduino they recommend the Arduino IDE as being the easiest path.

At work, I'm forced to use only C for firmware programming. I believe C++ would have been a better choice.

I'm reading a book right now (Real-World Cryptography - Manning Publisher[^]).
In chapter 3 it provided a code example of how to generate a MAC (Message Authentication Code) using Rust.
It didn't give the crates (import libraries) that were required.  (I'm slow, I need everything.)
Also, the example was two functions for generating and then reading the MAC but there was no example of the input (I'm slow, I need everything).
Which brings me to my point.
Do you notice that books get you so far into a subject (about 1 - 3 chapters) and then they get so far out there that you cannot move on further? You're just stuck. The author has left me behind. (I'm slow, I need everything.)
So I have a lot of books that I read first 3 chapters & then fall into oblivion. (I'm slow, I need everything.)
Well, that is my experience. Does that happen to you?

Do they distribute the source code that accompanies the book somewhere? You may be able to use that to fill in the gaps, at least in this case.

Sheesh, it's like you expect me to do everything. 
It's a good point. I will look and see if code is on github. Probably is (but I'm slow, I need everything -- handed to me on a sliver plate).
