Experiences As A New Mac Developer
Blogger Mike Rundle has posted about his experiences starting out as a Mac OS X developer. From the post:
It’s an interesting experience, diving head-first into the unknown, trying to soak up all the information you possibly can on the way down into the abyss of Mac application development. Everything is new, most of it is documented, and the rest can be learned by reading as much as possible and asking for help when you’re lost. I’m new to Objective-C, new to Cocoa, but have been a hardcore Mac aficionado since 1996 when I got my first Mac — a Performa 6200 — so I have “Apple-ness” running through my veins which is extremely helpful. Creating a beautiful and successful application for the Mac usually means that it looks as if the engineers at Apple could have created something similar, so the expectations are extremely high as far as interface polish is concerned. I’m learning just how much effort goes into a beautiful Cocoa app, and it sure is a lot.
