Same for me, at times, lol.  Setting up a dev environment isn't really programming, so yeah...  Some are just a bit confusing to get right at first.

Surprising that iPhone dev requires C++ at first, whereas Objective C's syntax is a bit different (I guess they intend to translate C++ ideas to ObjC) - in fact, ObjC looks rather odd to me.
