OK, but why?
Seriously, it'll be worth it not to learn about manual memory management.
I'm confused - MonoTouch presumably has garbage collection, but Objective-C lets you 'not learn about manual memory management'. What's the deal?
- ianbishop 15y agoSeriously, it'll be worth it not to learn about manual memory management. I believe he's making reference to the inclusion of automatic reference counting in iOS 5.
- AshFurrow 15y agoExactly. That's why you have to pay the $100 for the dev license - to get Xcode 4.2 beta.
- innes 15y agoAhah. So the mention of MonoTouch is a red-herring? Weird. EDIT: @tptacek What confused me is there's no reason given to avoid MonoTouch, so I latched onto the memory management comment, to try and make sense of the text.
- tptacek 15y agoNo, you're conflating two different points he's making. The MonoTouch jab isn't about memory management.
