Hey guys. I was curious if there are any programmers out there that are using objective C on Linux at all.

Ive looked into it a little bit so I know it can be done I just need somebody that could possibly answer a few noobish questions for me. If you do work with Objective C at all please post here so I can get a feel of how many Suck-O members are actually working with this language.

Thanks so much guys!!!

From Apple's own documentation:

Objective-C is defined as a small but powerful set of extensions to the standard ANSI C language.

So you'll have to learn C first.

Once you know C, there's a nice Objective-C tutorial to read in addition to the documentation mentioned above.

The same site has a C tutorial that should prepare you for Objective-C which assumes previous experience with a scripting language.

Do you have experience with a scripting language? Why do you want to learn Objective-C specifically?
