Again, you are supposed to understand Objective-C, In fact "Learning
Cocoa" does give you a brief tour of Objective-C (Chapter 3).

Yes, VR is great. But we are not here to judge who is good and who is
bad. There is a routine you got to follow and that routine has been
prescribed by many people in this list genuinely.

That goes to "Experienced Developers" If you have experience with
programming C/C++ which is not very extensive this book is for you. But
if you don't, start carving the earth for you building.

All right Apple, do you recommend learning GUI first then Objective-C???
I think you still misunderstand what I am trying to say. I am asking you
first learn how to build the code first. Once you are ready for IB then
Cocoa is a piece of cake.

AGAIN:
There is no such thing that you start building the roof of a house first
which is basically what you are trying to do. First build the basement
then the walls and then the roof.
"Bearing a child takes nine months no matter how many women are assigned
to this task." And you know what that eight of nine months may pass like
a breeze: But not the ninth month. You may suffer even more. That is
called the "learning curve".
Calm down and start reading books.
Think Difficult.
