Waking from Nib

Yes I'm fully aware of the fact that its been almost two years since any of us posted anything on this blog. Thing is our Objective-C Classes only lasted long enough to generate those six posts. I don't remember exactly why we cancelled our 'classes' (probably because all three of us moved to different cities) but it was fun while it lasted.

A lot of php, Java and a Dashboard widget later - things have changed a lot since then. Also, I now have a Mac which obviously makes learning a lot easier than going to K's house every time I wanted to execute any Objective-C code! Anyway, the reason I'm bothering to post after so long is that I have, for what I believe is the third time now, started learning 'Mac OS X Programming'. This time however, I'm determined to at the very least, complete the book that I've selected - 'Beginning Mac OS X Programming' (ha!) by Michael Trent and Drew McCormack.

So far, I've been going at the rate of a chapter a day but that's probably because they were mostly introductory chapters which I more or less knew anyways. I hope to document some rants, ooohs and aahs on this blog while I switch between revising the Harry Potter books (to prepare for HP and the Deathly Hallows ofcourse!) and learning Objective-C.

-P

P.S. - It just struck me that a Harry Potter book was due when we'd started two years back too!
