Swift / Objective-C - what to learn now without experience?

Question

Objective-C

I know that questions from me have already bothered even me, but how strange it is - how many people have so many opinions (and 0 arguments).
So I continue to learn C (so as not to lose time), only in the end, after analyzing my time, strength and ability, I settled on iOS.
After I finish my C book and practice a bit, what should I switch to: Objective-C or Swift?
So far, there are no ideas (in terms of a startup), so I start from jobs.
What is currently in the greatest demand?
Do I need to learn Objective-C at all now, or has everyone switched to Swift a long time ago?
All in all, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Do you need knowledge of C in Swift?

Answer 2

Definitely Objective-C is needed. A lot of code is written in ObjC, various libraries and understanding is at least necessary. Swift is the future. Someone is already trying to use it in projects, but it's too early to completely abandon Objective-C in iOS development!

Answer 3

I watch video tutorials on swift on youtube. Hexlet downloaded all 32 lessons, almost everything is clear, what he explained. I'll keep poking around. Considering that in iOS 8-9 and 10.11 there is already Metal, and the opportunities that apple has provided or will soon introduce (I'm talking about linux) to developers, it seems to me that you can start learning swift. As they say early, not too late.

Answer 4

Definitely worth learning Swift, this is the future of iOS development, but in the next 2-3 years, without Objective-C, you won’t find a job in Russia.
