Our company is going to start to develop apps. I am a php coder and also know a bit of JavaScript.

Is it best to learn obj-c with Xcode or dive straight into unity to make games?

Thanks!

Has your company decided that you will be making apps using Unity?

If yes, there is no point in learning Objective-C, because it cannot be used in conjunction with Unity. If you know PHP, you pretty much know the C#/UnityScript (Unity’s version of JS) syntax and jumping directly into Unity isn’t going to be too difficult.

Yes it can, with plugins. It’s useful to know Objective-C because Unity creates an XCode project, not a finished app.

If you are going to make games, use Unity.
If you are making apps for Mac, learn Obj-C.
If you are making multi platform apps, use Mono or Qt.

learn both ^^…it can’t harm you and if you do iOS stuff even with unity , as eric said, have some objC under your belt is not a waste of time…

i second that if you are going to make iOS apps, its good to know objective c in companion with C#/unityscript for any kind of extension or plugin you may need with unity iOS
