is there something new about programming apps for iphone with scala?
Do you have some experiences with programming scala apps for iphone?
Thanks for any help!
It will be very difficult to make this happen. There's no JVM on the iPhone and it's probably too big to package it with your app.
There's work being done on an LLVM backend for Scala. Since there are code generators for the iPhone for LLVM, this is a path forward, but the backend is still a proof of concept, we still need a way to invoke Cocoa code from Java (not sure if something like that exists) and the Java standard library would need to be ported over as well.
But this would definitely be an excellent thing if it ever happens. Coding in Objective-C is definitely nowhere near as nice as coding in Scala.

QT C++ programming is best for learning or java SE is best?
Which one?
Please help me
It comes down to your needs. What is most suitable for you. Both are great and fun to learn. I myself learned C++ first and then went to Java. I really enjoy working in both but I enjoy GUI work more in Java.
Again it comes to your skills and needs. If you are good with C++ and plan to stick with it in future than sure go with Qt C++ otherwise every language is good to learn as every thing has its Pro's and Con's..

I have looked around and was unable to find any questions regarding this exact question. I did find some similar questions but not exactly what I want know.
If you develop an Android application in C/C++, will there be a (substantial) speed difference when compared to developing the same application in Java?
From the Android docs:
The NDK will not benefit most applications. As a developer, you need
to balance its benefits against its drawbacks; notably, using native
code does not result in an automatic performance increase, but always
increases application complexity. In general, you should only use
native code if it is essential to your application, not just because
you prefer to program in C/C++.
The NDK was intended to be used in performance-critical situations only.
You can however create a whole application with C/C++ but only if the device runs Android 2.3 or later: Can I make a rather native C++ app with Android?

I don't know much of either languages, but what would be better for writing applications that deals with the following. Right now, I use PHP, but I'm looking to see what would be the next ideal language to dig into, if the needs arise.
MySQL
off-line data processing of CSV, XML, etc. files
web applications (dynamic websites)
I understand that this could quite possibly be subjective.. so if you could just pitch in some pros and cons, that would be superb. TIA!
If you come from PHP, JAVA is probably a bit easier than C++ for you.
If you are looking to make dynamic websites with a programming language you should look into C#

What are the benefits of using a compiled solution like .NET of Java over an interpreted solution like PHP or Ruby for building a Web Application/Web Site. It seems like Java or .NET apps would require a lot more overhead compared to a PHP/Rails solution.
If I were developing a big enterprizy application I would prefer .NET or Java depending upon skills of my team and resources available. But if I were to develop a quicky + clean website, 2.0 kinda thing, I would prefer ROR or PHP.
It's not which is better and which is not, it's just what you are trying to do.

We have discussion in my job place about question (We use 1 of the php frameworks):
Why program with php frameworks big web application if it can be done better with ruby on rails, python or java?
Please say our opinion
thanks
If you only know PHP and you don't feel like learning Ruby/Python/Java. Seriously, if it can be done better with another tool, it should be done with another tool. Of course, this assumes the other tools are actually better. That part is arguable. Some people are so stuck up on their "my way is the best way" that they leave out the "because it's the only way I know" part.
"Better" is subjective. Does Rails have such a strong background & community full of tools like opcode cachers, memcache libs, PINBA, PHPFpm and many many more?
