Learn Cocoa, Part II

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Feb 18th, 2007

When we posted about Part I of Scott Stevenson's Learn Cocoa tutorial, some people complained that there wasn't actually any coding involved. Well Part II at least introduces what Scott calls "Thinking in Code" and begins to dig a little deeper into what is required to actually use Xcode to write a Cocoa application. Obviously, Scott is moving very slowly, as yet again he requires no previous experience, but his lavishly illustrated guide is a pleasure to behold. He holds out the promise of more such guides in the future, provided some donations are forthcoming. Given how well he's done so far, I hope that comes to pass. Check it out at Cocoa Dev Central.

Learn Cocoa Tutorial

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Jan 23rd, 2007



In one of our Ask TUAW posts, we were asked about resources for learning how to develop applications on the Mac. We've previously mentioned Scott Stevenson and Cocoa Dev Central and now he's back with a very richly illustrated introductory Learn Cocoa tutorial that slowly takes you through building your first Cocoa application with Xcode, even if you have no prior experience. Now it's true that it's not much of an application in the end, but nonetheless it's a start, and a way to begin learning of the riches of Mac software development. So set aside a few minutes to run through the tutorial, and even if you're like me and barely know which end of Xcode is up, you too can say you've programmed for the Mac!

Scott asks for a donation if you find the tutorial worthwhile.

Cocoa Dev Central redesign launches

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Oct 10th, 2006

I couldn't code Cocoa if my life depended on it (I can hardly blog as it is), but I am fascinated by developers, the development cycle, and the products that result. It is no wonder, then, that I have been a fan of Cocoa Dev Central for quite a while.

They just redesigned the site, and I must say that I dig it. The content is well organized, the design is clean, and there is a link to TUAW (what more could a blogger want?).

Check it out if you are looking for good Cocoa resources, and be sure to send TUAW a copy of the press release for your new app once you get the hang of Cocoa.
