Please tell me how to find a job in Cocoa.
I have university degree and have one year experience in Cocoa and
two years in
C/C++ on Mac systems.
Unfortunately, Cocoa jobs are going to stay scarce until Apple gets
businesses to start writing Cocoa apps. Independent software
companies doing user apps don't seem to get very big anymore,
since they're pretty much just serving niches.
I think the only way Apple's going to get businesses to start
doing Cocoa development is if they come up with a way to
efficiently display Cocoa apps on Windows machines, ala
Citrix or Microsoft's similiar technology (more efficient than
VNP).
If Apple reincarnated EOF, built a display-on-Windows technology,
and sold XServe boxes with unlimited Quartz app client licenses,
I think that combination would help them get into big business.
The businesses wouldn't have to get rid of their Windows boxes
and their custom Windows apps, and wouldn't have to buy
separate Macs to run Cocoa apps.
I don't think they want to get into business. Otherwise, they would
bring out Yellow-Box, EOF and WOF (ObjC). It wouldn't be the first
time, those three would bring an incredible business boost.
But somehow, they don't want. And until they want, all the customers,
who still run this combination, will have ported everything to pure
Windoze.
We just can hope, that Gnustep replaces these missing pieces one day
completely. Then it won't be Apple's business anymore and they can't
take it away from us either (which is the best thing).
