AS3 to Objective-C
by Joseph Burchett on Dec.05, 2008, under Developers, Joseph Burchett
I found this very interesting article that discusses the transition from programming in AS3 (Action Script 3.0) to working in Cocoa (Objective-C). Basically from creating Flash applications to IPhone applications… And I must say, the difference between the two languages is pretty dramatic…
Creating a function in AS3 would go like this this.helloWorld(); and in objective-C it looks like this [self helloWorld]; Wow, for anyone who wants to jump into IPhone development who has come from a C#, C++, Java, or AS3 background… That’s a pretty big difference. Now for a seasoned programmer who can take in new languages like it’s nothing this really isn’t a hurdle, but once again Apple making it hard to work with the Iphone… Oh my… I am starting to sound like a bit of a Windows fan boy.
