Video Introduction to Cocoa
Over at Theocacao Scott Stevenson has posted the video of his Introduction to Cocoa talk (entitled "Best of Both Worlds") aimed at those who want to learn a bit about Apple's preferred API for building OS X applications. The talk runs to over 90 minutes and includes "an introduction to Xcode, Interface Builder, Objective-C, Mac UI standards and more."
For anyone who has ever wanted to figure out what those developers tools are all about this is definitely worth (the rather large) download (scroll down towards the bottom) though it seems that a lot of folks are have problems getting the whole file (myself included). There's also a torrent available.

That's certainly what I call a modern day 'Catch 22'. You want to write a story about something people will enjoy reading / watching, but when you do, the traffic from that post crushes said hosting server.
Oh well, lets hope it allows downloads soon.

Well that's the simplicity.
The 'modernity' allows you already to download that torrent.

The torrent wasn't working for me either, perhaps because of my ISP (AT&T Yahoo). Annoying, because this sounds like just the sort of thing that lately I, as a CS major, have been wanting to see. I wonder if it's because this torrent is from The Pirate Bay (even though it's legal); my BitTorrent download of Xubuntu a few weeks ago worked just fine.

Works fine for me here.

Apparently I just had to use a client with encryption support. Since I do *NOT* use BitTrrent for piracy, I've never had to do that before. Annoying, since this is completely legitimate traffic.

As I understand it, encryption for bittorrent isn't to 'secretly download illegal files'. Its a way to fool your ISP; to reduce the chance that they will know you're using bittorrent. It's not about hiding what you're d/ling but rather, masking the fact that you're using the bittorrent method. Unfortunatly there are ISP that don't care bittorrenting per se completely legal, and choose to block/reduce all bittorrent traffic. It doesn't matter if you're torrenting the newest Ubuntu release, or the latest version of PhotoShop, your torrent traffic will get throttled.

@Andrew: Yes, I was aware of all of that. I was just expressing my annoyance with that being the situation, and letting others who might be having the same problem know that they need to do said trickery this time.
