As I’m sure you recall from my earlier post, I had managed to upload an archive of our old blog to the new site.
Even though the site was now successfully working, there were a few problems. The first was that the Google Analytics script contained the id of the old site. Since that site is [...]
Let me apologize in advance for an extremely long post. It’s been a while since my last post and I have some catching up to do.
Also, I’ll apologize because this post has pretty much nothing to do with Cocoa. However, it has everything to do with the fact that MACS ARE TOTALLY AWESOME.
Seriously, this weekend [...]

Laurent Sansonetti:
After 5 intensive months of development, RubyCocoa 0.11.0 is out. It’s a very big release, as you can see from the release notes. We also feature a completely new website (which is actually a Wiki, easy to maintain for us programmers).
I know you can also write Cocoa apps using Java, [...]
I’m the kind of person who puts in hours of research before buying a toothbrush*, so you can imagine the amount of thought that went into selecting a look for learning a new programming language and API.
First, I wanted to take into account the fact that I’m a Mac newbie. (I’ll have to tell the [...]
I just heard (via an IT Conversations podcast) that Amit Singh had never picked up a Mac until 2003. Since then he has written a 1600 page book about OS X and been hired by Google to write Mac software.
All I want to do is write some crappy little program. This gives me hope.
I just realized this isn’t the first time my wife and I made the hot chocolate to Hot Chocolate connection.
About half the time I type the word Cocoa, it comes our Cocao. Needless to say, cocao is related to cocoa, but not Cocoa. It doesn’t help that I’ve been staring at the word cocoa so much at this point, it automatically looks misspelled.
I apologize in advance for future misspellings and any confusion they cause.
Part of learning Cocoa is learning Objective-C. I guess technically it isn’t necessary as Cocoa is an API and Objective-C is a language, but it looks like most people use them hand in hand.
For future reference, the “official” way to write (or type, I guess) the language is Objective-C, capitalized and with a hyphen. It [...]
Welcome to my new blog. I’m hoping to use this to pose questions and keep notes as I learn Cocoa programming. So far, so good.
