This is one of the best programming editors I've ever used. I like the idea of using same editor (and interface) on Mac, Windows and Linux.

I suppose you know that you split the layout of ST just like you can split the pane in iTerm2 ... You can even have the same file open twice in a side by side view.

Ruby alternative - RubyMotion C# alternative - MonoTouch

That being said, I still think Objective-C is the way to go if you are an individual developer. For a company with a large .NET base of coders for e.g. makes more sense to use MonoTouch.

Kochan seems OK.

I've seen the Objective-C book from The Big Nerd Ranch and 50% of the book is about basic C. This is not appealing to me, obviously if you know nothing about C (or you have limited experience) this could be a good match for you.

I think the best way to start developing for iOS is trough Objective-C (especially if you already know C).

Otherwise I agree with what you said about starting with a small application.

Am I the only one who thinks that self medication is a stupid idea ? I mean if you play with your own brain you can't really be able to made objective "observations".

My conclusion, don't do it unless you need it!

The smart move now will be to wait 2-3 months before buying the Retina Display machine. I'm convinced that by the launch of Mountain Lion the OS will let you use the full resolution of the machine for UI, also it will give some time to other apps to upgrade their UI in order to support the new resolution.

While the upgrade to Mountain Lion will be free, I have a funny feeling that Adobe will charge (or at least will try) you some extra money for an updated version of Photoshop for Retina Display MacBook Pro :).

Any self respecting company or individual developer will probably provide a free upgrade for the UI of their applications soon in order to support the new resolution.

Recently Microsoft Azure started supporting ubuntu and Mark shuttleworth praised microsoft, does Mark shuttleworth stand has shifted towards capitalism and forgot how often microsofts threatens GNU/Linux with patents.

I'm sorry to tell you that your question is at best confuse. You mix Capitalism, Microsoft Azure and patents in the same phrase while questioning the "ways" of Ubuntu - this makes no sense.

1. If Ubuntu runs on an MS platform more power to Linux, this means even MS recognize the strength of Linux.

2. Capitalism - from where you think the money for developing Ubuntu and Linux in general are coming ? Do you really think Linux is developed by people in their free time ? Sorry to break it to you but today's most Linux development is made by people hired by private companies.

3. Mark Shuttleworth is a businessman, don't confuse him with a member of FSF.
