Not only should Apple be pushing Cocoa to people who wouldn't have
normally considered programming, they should be pushing it like MAD
at students (like me). Nobody in my university knows wtf Cocoa or
Objective-C is (granted it's a small university).
No excuse! We're offering a course in Objective-C and Cocoa, and
Millikin is only about 2200 students. We're using Aaron Hillegass's
book, and having a very good time :-) Unfortunately, the majority of
CS professors don't know anything at all about Macintosh in general,
let alone Mac OS X. Their loss, of course.
Apple is trying to correct this, somewhat; they recently sent ACM
(Association of Computing Machinery) advisors a developer's kit that
included the Learning Cocoa book. They ought to send it out again,
with Hillegass' opus.
