C++ Development For iPhone

Question

Hi, I know about http://www.dragonfiresdk.com/index.htm but is there other tools that I can use to write C++ for iPhone? Is there a book maybe?

Answer 1

You can use c++ for iPhone development - this might help:

Alternatively, just learn Objective-C it's nice :)

Answer 2

Are you looking for more ways to avoid using a mac and xcode, or just other c++ tools?

For the latter, almost any c or c++ library will work. Basically you can embed c++ objects in your objective-c objects and make use of them. Apple calls mixing c++ with objective-c objective-c++: http://developer.apple.com/Mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/Articles/ocCPlusPlus.html
