Well, here's a point of view to someone new to cocoa.
I already have some C/Unix background and Objective-Pascal experience.
I started with cocoa about a month ago, and I was pretty amazed with it.
I browsed the documentation, printed the Currency Converter tutorial
and... I guess all the basic outlet/action and simple [Objective C]
syntax are ok now :)
Of course some basic things are missing on the docs, see my prior post
"Stupid questions" ... I had no idea on how to create a new window on
the interface builder... but as soon as I posted the question here, a
lot of people told me "choose a window on the palette and drag it to the
screen" (sounds stupid, doesn't it?)
We're living an era of total sharing of information, via the internet...
Think about how it was when you didn't know how to program something
about 10 years ago (undocumented of course). Maybe you already had
access to BBSs and stuff, but most of us had to ask our few programmer
friends and if none of them knew, we had to spend days and nights awake
trying to figure a way out (most of the times the solution was
ridiculous)...
My final standing is, for real programmers that like what they do, get a
simple tutorial like the currency converter, learn the basics, then,
when you're in doubt, ask lists like this one ... I'm sure the answer
will come as soon as you send the email. And even if nobody knows the
solution, many of us will be glad to try to find one (a thousand heads
thinking is better than just one).
Hope you all can find something productive in everything I wrote.
See you all
