I’ve got a project coming that requires some sort of mac user interface that communicates via bluetooth & Twitter (whew!).\u00a0 Soooo, for the past few days I’ve been smacking my head against my laptop as I attempt to learn something new about programming. It’s been a looooong time since college when I learned Pascal, and I can really feel it as I wade through Java & Objective C. All those brackets!! Arrgh.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, there are many websites that have been helping a great deal – here’s one of them. Cocoalab<\/a> has a wonderful Objective C tutorial – “Become an XCoder<\/a>” that walks you thorough the basics and even holds your hand as you make a simple OS X application or two. The PERFECT starting point for someone who wants to begin programming on the Mac.<\/p>\n

Note though that the PDF version of the tutorial is a bit out of date and documents a now outdated Xcode<\/a>. But the HTML pages have been updated to reflect a newer version of the Apple software. This is only important as you try to link various objects in your programs.<\/p>\n
