Damnit, the #@%*&ing blurb on the back cover of "Learning Cocoa"
says, and I quote:
"Extensive programming experience is not required to complete the
examples in this book, though some experience with the C programming
language is helpful. "
I figured I had "some experience." Sorry you don't agree, but there it
is.
the question you asked is basic, basic, basic C function stuff...
What you asked isn't the problem. It is your demanding and deprecating
tone.
This list is run by Apple, and until THEY ask me to leave, I will avail
myself of it.
I've not asked you to leave.. I don't think anyone has. To claim
that I've done so is false.
I know that you are one of the High Gurus of Cocoa, and I would rather
not piss you off, but I will not be bullied.
Nor am I bullying you. But given your attitude, I think you'd find
more help if you weren't so quick to blame Apple for it.
My own feeling is that you are so removed from the perils of us
beginners that you can no longer feel our pain.
I write tutorials and help people daily. I deal with their pain
all day. I most certainly do feel it.
However, asking 'what does this mean', 'what does that mean' is far
different from peeing on Apple for your perception that a book should
cover certain things that are basic to development using C.
