Hi All,

I'm an occasional programmer, producing small applications almost always for my own use. I grew up on OS 9 and earlier, with Inside Macintosh Volumes 1 to 6 as my bible and using Think Pascal.

Ah, loved those days. *sigh*

Now I really must move onto the new platforms and OS X, and presumably using C (I have never gone Object Oriented, so now is probably not the time to start

I see no logic in this conclusion. ;-) How many people do you think started their programming with an object-oriented (not capitalized because it isn't a proper noun) language? Most of us graduated to an OO language at some point from a procedural language. I went from Pascal to C++ and never did much of anything in straight C. Today I'd bite the bullet and do the Obj-C/Cocoa thing.

Oh yeah. Different OS, different language, different IDE. Call your friends tell them not to think you've died if they don't hear from you for a while. ;-)


In the absence of a nice little book called "Learning to use C with X-Code" does anyone have advice

It's spelled Xcode. ;-)

All (Reasonable!) suggestions gratefully received.

Oh, *now* you tell me. LOL
