I’ve been meaning to learn Mac programming with Cocoa for two years now, and finally am getting off my ass. Since the first of the year, I’ve gone through Spiderworks’ “Learn C on the Macintosh” eBook. Just finished that last night, now I’m starting Apple’s PDF doc “The Objective-C Programming Language,” and then after than […]
The first time I went to Vegas, it was sensory overload. Everything was amazing.

Well, looks like my idea for a Delicious Library-style comic book database app is all for naught. From the DrunkenBlog interview with Delicious Monster co-founder Wil Shipley:
Emphasis mine. Shipley, you magnificent bastard!
Cocoa 101: Object-Oriented Programming for the Masses, Part 1 and Part 2. Nice scratching the surface of the way Cocoa’s classes think, and clearer that some of the books I have in its explanations of same.
Never mind— I’m still confused.
See, this is why I figure it’ll take at least three books, all by different authors, to teach me programming— because none of them make sense on their own.
