Java for Iphone App Development? [closed]

Question

I have been primarily using Java and have experience with it. I want to develop some iphone apps and wanted to know if there a way to develop iphone app using Java or iphone development can be only done using Objective-C?

Also if Objective-C is the only way to go then would really appreciate if you can recommend some books or links where I can get started on Iphone Development, my background is completely based on Java and I have not work with C or C++ professionally in the past.

Any recommendations/suggestions would highly help.

Can we have quick comparison of Objective-C vs Java or its like comparing oranges with Apple, am just trying to get some similarities in objective-c from java perspective so that I have some knowledge to leverage on while learning Objective-C, any suggestions?

Answer 1

From your comments, here is a book found through a quick google search for java developers to learn objective C. I used other books in this series (Learn Objective-C on the Mac, and Beginning iPhone Development) to learn iPhone development, so I assume it is good.

And here is a link to a well done powerpoint presentation given on comparing Java to Objective-C (about halfway is where the syntax differences start with examples!) as well as some of the cool features of Objective-C.
