I have Windows...

I can't install Xcode on my computer and all of the vidoes feature Xcode... Is there any alternate program that I can use, and if so, is there alternate videos for that Program? I am wanting to learn Objective C.

Hi Mark, yes it is. I personally don't use this approach but if your laptop or desktop is enough power full you install virtual box and build Apple virtual machine. For more info please google Mac Virtual Machine - virtual box provide full support for OS X.

Thanks, Hubert

Unfortunately for you Apple development requires an Apple PC. However you can buy a Mac Mini (500$) or, if your computer is very performant you can try installing OS X on a virtual machine, but this "hack" won't save you from other problems that you may encounter.

Hackintosh is a possible solution
