About me

My Workplace and the Windows World

My Mac World at home

Programmer with need to learn Cocoa and Objective-C

Issue with going through the Book without a schedule

My goal is to Learn Cocoa and Objective-C

I have read first chapters of the textbook more times that I count

www.bignerdranch.com—cocoa1.shtml

Cannot stay on track and keep reading the book from the beginning over and over again

The Solution

The idea is to have some sort of commitment to stay on the schedule

Podcast that will force me to stay on track since other people will depend on me

We will use the "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" second edition by Aaron Hillegass as a text book for this podcast/course

What we should cover

At very minimum, we should cover the textbook fast

Go through every chapter while doing all the exercises, homework, challenges

Create our own exercises

Create projects
