Cocoa Development

As you may have read in an earlier post, I have been trying to learn Cocoa. Cocoa is what many developers for Mac OS X use to make their software, and can create great results. I have been putting it off though, even though I bought the book. The one thing I have learned so far, is how to correctly spell Cocoa.

But, instead of following the book exactly the way it says, I think it would be a good idea if I had something I wanted to do, and that is why I am writing this post. I have been wondering what types of apps my readers want, for Macs, so I can attempt to make one. You should make it easy, so I have a better chance, but put all your ideas if you want.

So, if you have an idea, or a mac app that you want, leave a comment.

PS: This doesn’t merit its own post, but I finally picked up The Four Hour Workweek, by Timothy Ferriss.

    How about an Adium style app with webcam and speech functions so I don’t have to type to my contacts on MSN.

    Haha Lawsy, that would be a huge undertaking!

    You could help with Mac for a Cure if you were up to it.

    Yeah, that’s a bit too hard. I would leave that to the Adium crew themselves.

    I will, but it may be near done by the time I am worth anything.

    Developing an App in Cocoa is a little bit harder than it looks, I’m sorry :P.

    You’ve got to understand the “fundamentals of programming” before you go off doing that kind of crazy thing. Grab a C or a C++ book and learn that inside-out, it’ll be much simpler. Trust me.

    This is coming from someone who’s been trying to learn for 5 or 6 years, believe me.
