    Which language to choose for APPS?

    I have a background in Web Design, so can hand code, HTML, JavaScript, CSS and php to varying levels.

    I have clients asking about APPs and I'm developing a new business idea myself which will include a quiz type app.

    So simply should I be going down the C++ route, Objective-C, or JAVA route when starting out in the world of APPs? By the way its not visual games they would be actually applications and as I mentioned quiz's.

    There is a beginners 10 week C++ course starting next month close to me, so that would be ideal OF its the right language.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I'll be honest with you --

    A 10 week course in C++ is not enough to prepare you to write real C++ applications -- maybe as a very junior programmer to someone with real C++ experience, but not as a principle C++ programmer.

    It takes many months and even years to get to the point where you can write C++ programs comfortably, correctly, debug issues, etc. It is nothing like Web Design, PHP, or HTML.

    I didn't expect 10 weeks to give me all I want, but give me a feel. I to start with need to concentrate on producing the quiz app, which presumably won't be incredibly complex?

    Would C++ be the right type of language to use for this type of app?
