I appreciate the responses to my questions, and I'm sorry if I've annoyed anybody with my lack of background in objective C or cocoa programming.

My interest in cocoa programming is in developing applications, like this workout log, which I want to use, and which don't really exist in the way that I imagine them. There are a couple of good training log programs out there for the mac, my favorite of which is Training Log Pro (http://www.brokenropesoftware.com/index.html), but it isn't exactly what I want, and I thought it would be a fun long term project to develop just exactly what I want.

I do appreciate mmalc's suggestion to start from the beginning and develop an in depth background knowledge of cocoa, etc. I also understand that not doing this will cause me to struggle, such as I am with my "wish list". That said, as I said above, its not really what I'm interested in. I guess you could say I want to develop a functional knowledge of writing these programs, not an academic one. But I'm sure, if this were a topic which I have a more academic interest, I would have given the same advice that mmalc gave me, so thank you for the advice.

Though I can't say that my understanding of diff eqs and C++ has been particularly helpful, I think I have to agree with Ricardo that, on the whole, writing this program hasn't been all that difficult. I understand that I am merely brushing the surface of the capabilities of the technology, and that I'm doing very little more than the "default" interface, but this is all I really want, with a couple of wrinkles, which were on my wish list.

In the end, I. Savant's response was really the kind of response I was hoping for in the beginning. I have yet to implement these ideas, but I think they will be do-able.

Anyway, I just wanted to provide some feedback on my perspective on the conversation. I do appreciate all of your input. I'm sure I will be posting on this forum again as I continue to learn about cocoa programming.
