Well, like most projects, scratching your own itch is always a great start. What kind of app would be useful to you? What do you want the Etoile environment to do for you? Make something that you want to use, and, chances are that if it's generic enough, other people might want to use it too. Oh, and most of the developers here prefer code as modified-BSD or LGPL (as opposed to GPL) licensed, as it makes reusing the code in other parts of the project easier -- just something to keep in mind when you're thinking about contributing. > Currently I am in the processes of learning Objective-C through > "Programming in Objective-C" by Stephen Kochan.

Assuming you're coming from an OS X background (as most of us in the project have have), any of the Cocoa references (particularly older ones, from around 10.0/10.1 -- most of the newest Cocoa developments aren't in GNUstep yet) are helpful and you can play with them right in OS X if you've installed the developer tools. If you can find any of the OpenStep-specific reference books, those are really helpful too. If you've got a working GNUstep installation (and even if you're testing this stuff on OS X), there are some really nice GNUstep tutorials here: http://www.roard.com/docs/ http://student.fiit.stuba.sk/~kiselkov04/docu-demo/demo.html I'm sure others on the project can throw more good references your way! > I look forward to joining this community. Thanks. We look forward to having you! Thank _you_! J. _______________________________________________ Etoile-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-dev
