Is objective C experience required for iPhone/Mac applications?

[P G]

I sincerely need help with this issue; I am new to programming, and coding of any sort. Is an in depth experience of objective c required to create a high-function application. Also, could said application establish a connection to Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube with ease? Do such websites use open API and allow for alternative applications to be built that could potentially offer similar capabilities that their own official applications offer?

Yes, ObjectiveC is Apple's dream for everything OSX, iPad, iPhone, etc.

I personally think ObjectC sucks...but I think Apple sucks too, so there may be a correlation there.

However, it is not difficult to learn if you want to use it. Like everything, perfect practice makes perfect.

Not really.

Apple prefers Obj C, but C++ is okay too.
