<br>
I’m interested in learning Swift. Is there a need or benefit to learn Objective-C first? I’ve done some C, C++, VB 6.0, and VBA / Access in the past but I’m definitely not a programmer. I want to develop programs for the Mac and to learn about low level programming in the future. Just wondering if I should learn C, C++, or Swift. I have a pc and a Mac.<br>
<br>
I keep thinking maybe old C for Windows and Swift and / or Objective-C for the Mac? I’m a little confused.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
