I will read three books to start learning to program and understand the language of IOS/Mac and make games for both or other applications for IOS and Mac.
But I have one question, if you want to create 2d or 3d games or other applications, I have to know c + +?
the language of c + + is for or what type of applications where it is used?
Can i make good apps or games without c++?
Thanks :)
 
for IOS is only objective-c, and for the mac?

There do exist other languages, and maybe other means to do iOS development without having a Mac directly in front of you. But they aren't anywhere near as flexible, fully featured and well supported as using Objective C on an Intel Mac running Snow Leopard to do iPhone/iOS apps.

You can use Javascript for iPhone/iPad web apps.

But to make Mac apps ( games/programs,etc) what is the language used?

You can do a Mac app in almost any programming language. But if you want to use one primary programming language for all of your iPhone/iPad/Mac development needs... and keep up with the latest new APIs... Objective C.
