Design iPhone Apps: UROP Project | C++ to Objective C

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user who has been accepted into multiple UROP projects, including one focused on designing iPhone apps, despite lacking experience in Objective C. The user inquires about the feasibility of quickly learning Objective C given their background in C++. Responses indicate that while learning Objective C may be challenging for someone with limited programming experience, a solid foundation in C++ can facilitate the transition to other programming languages. The conversation also touches on the unusual nature of a research project centered on app design, prompting a suggestion to share the project details publicly for broader feedback.

Hi all,

I've applied to several UROP (Undergrad Research Opportunity Program) projects and I've gotten accepted to four, and one of them involves designing iPhone apps.

The problem is... I've never programmed in Objective C, but I do know a fair amount of C++ (very basic OOP skills). Is it possible to learn Objective C and be productive in this project within a short time, or should I just pick a different project?

i need an answer as soon as possible! please someone respond. :(
 
Sure, it's possible. If all you know is a little C++, then maybe it would be more difficult, but in general someone who knows C++ well can pick up most other languages easily. Sounds like a funny research project though.
 
Thanks for the reply - but why is it "funny"?
 
Are you in physics? I just can't picture a research project that would involve designing iphone apps
 
JawiB - do you mind if I send you a PM of the description of the project, and you can give me your opinion about it?
 
If you want. It might be more beneficial if you posted it in the open so that I'm not the only possible opinion you'll get ;)
