Should I learn objective C before Swift for IOS?

Should I learn objective C before Swift for IOS, would that give me better ground to learn swift?

thx

I would strongly recommend you to learn C before learning any other programming languages. It is available in the Objective C course. I think its called "A Brief Intro to C", or something like that. I recommend you learning C because C is the like the fundamentals of all programming languages. Nearly all programming languages are developed based on C. If you really want to learn an iOS programming language, I would recommend Swift because it is easy, fast, efficient, more secure. But if you find a hard time learning Swift, try C first.

I had the same question before I started a course on here, and I just decided to do swift. Swift is the new language and it’s evolving fast. It’s very easy compare to C. In my opinion, you don’t have to learn C, besides Swift is the future of iOS. :)

Jhoan, I saw u where Miami, not sure if u are doing programming as a hobby or a job but do u know if there is a lot of programmings jobs in Miami? I want to move there one day u see :)

I do this as a hobby, I do not think I am ready for a job position just yet. But obviously if given the opportunity I would give it a try. But yes there are good programming jobs here in South Florida. Love Miami and won’t change it for any other city. :)

Thanks guys! :)
