Hi Laurel and Jeff, Sorry Laurel, I must have missed your original post over the Christmas period. I more or less tuned out of all email for about two weeks.
I tried that tutorial a while back and got lost. It’s probably my background and training, but I always seem to have more luck following books rather than tutorials. If you’re a bookshare member, they have plenty of XCode stuff. Indeed, all oreilly books are there by default. Here’s an offer for you: if you want to take a look on sites like: www.oreilly.com www.informit.com www.apress.com www.bookshare.org you might find books you find interesting. The first thing I’d do is start by learning the Objective C language. All cocoa apps are built on this, and a knowledge will help you. Anyway back to my offer: If you find books that you think might be of use, either post here or contact me offlist and I’ll happily take a look for you and tell you what I think. I’ve not done app development, but I’ve written utilities for mac. I’m a university academic who teaches programming (among other things) so I’ve needed to know the basics. App/application development is my study gig for the next few months as I suspect I may get a course in mobile development to teach next year. Definitely look at MV-Dev. It’s a nice community and nobody gets flamed for asking anything. Hope these ramblings help, Dónal On 9 Jan 2014, at 18:37, Laurel and Stockard <laurel.stock...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, I applied to join the group. I appreciate this.
