I know C++ (did some OS hacking; network hacking at school last year), I
know some javascript, but that was a while ago. I've messed around a bit
in XML doing some work for a company last year, but I can't say it was a
huge experience. I'm very familiar with HTML - use it often (I'm an old
fogey who insists on writing HTML by hand :)) I'm mostly interested in
the Mac side, since I use OSX, so I've been reading the Mac newsgroups too.
I'll check out IRC when I get a chance - never really learned to use
that before (dunno how hard it is or even any good OSX IRC clients?).
I'm more interested in working on the backend stuff, but the learning
curve looks very steep, and I might be interested in moving into some
frontend stuff just to get my feet wet and see how it all works. Right
now I'm working on getting my build environment setup... where do you
recommend I start?
