Recently I have been learning the programming language Objective-C with the view to creating native Mac OS X programs. I bought the book “Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X” which was a brilliant read and had excellent examples to work through – I’d certainly recommend it to anyone thinking about learning about Cocoa.

I found it hard to get into the mindset of programming using objects (which are all pointers) rather than the usual C/C++ way where you work primarily with data types. But it’s all started to fall into place and I think I have got to grips with it now.

My next step is to create a program which is actually useful! Not sure what I’ll create yet, so keep an eye out!
