I'm a computer engineering student and taking my second programming class. I'mI'm learning C++ using "C++ Primer Plus" 5th edition by Prata. II want to develop for iOS. II understand the main language for Xcode is Objective-C. AmAm I hurting myself by learning C++ before any other language (notably before my desired lang Objective-C) ?? There's got to be a reason the university requires C++ to learn as a basis language.
Please offer any helpful guidance or how I should go about this. Thanks//
