oh Nat! you are supposed to be nice and encouraging ... :) I thought
that is what they teach you in the USA ...
well ... I got so many great replies so far that I am feeling already
way better ... THAT is the cool thing about Apple-People - they simply
love what they do ... I am forced to use MICROSOFT Crap at work
As of a month ago, I, too, am using Microsoft crap at work, and
believe me, every day I am more thankful that I have something as
excellent as Cocoa/Project Builder to play with when I get home. I
have yet to figure out how to even switch through source files in
Visual C++ in as logical a way as PB's back/forward buttons do. Cocoa
has really spoilt me, and now I feel like a complete bonzo/bozo (I
like 'bonzo' because it has NZ in it) when I'm trying to figure out
what on Earth the code at work is doing! The Cocoa frameworks
encourage consistency in method naming etc, and that plus
Objective-C's argument labels (if that's what they're called) makes
Cocoa code so much easier to understand. Mind you, it could just be
because I've written it myself!
I'm sure you're going to love Cocoa when you get to grips with it. :)
Most of the stuff which seems intimidating and difficult at first
glance turns out to be quite easy once you actually try it. I wanted
to use an NSTableView in my first app but I couldn't make head nor
tail of it. Once I'd made a few little apps using what I did
understand, I went back and looked at the documentation for
NSTableView and found that I understood it. At the moment I'm
steering clear of distributed objects, but I know that if I actually
peeked through my fingers at the documentation I'd find that they're
not so scary after all.
