C, C++, Objective C, where will it end ?

To my absolute amazement I find I'm writing in C & C++ on my iPhone app. Many moons ago when I was a "programmer", the C guys used to laud it over us 3rd Gen people, their superiority for working with the arcane. So HA! I finally caught up.

Generally I find c++ fine, I did do some utility apps on KDE a long time ago, so it's not a big jump to use it again. C is hmm, well like anyone else I get confused with my pointers.


What is interesting, is reading Unix Network Programming and Advanced Unix Programming, it's funny how much of the unix noise you blot out in the terminal without really wondering what it means..

I'm writing pThreads at the moment, for some background processing, I'm finding it more challenging to think outside the Cocoa Framework that has become home. I must buy Programing with Posix Threads when I can afford it, a page turner.
