Hi Fred,

If you're totally new to programming, I recommend starting by learning
the Python programming language.

It's not widely used for Mac programming, but IMHO is the best "first
language".  Once you have some experience with it, it will be much
easier to learn the other languages that are more commonly used for
the Mac.

You can run the interpreter in a Terminal on OS X by giving the
"python" command.  But that version of Python doesn't support much of
what is possible.  I recommend downloading the version found at:

http://www.python.org/download/

there is a tutorial at:

http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html

Most GUI programming with Python is done with tkInter, but there is a
way to do some kind of Cocoa programming with it - I understand that
the official BitTorrent client for the Mac was built that way.

Best,

Michael David Crawford
