Lecture 2 ... again!

OK, so I've been distracted from my Apple / Mac / Cocoa / iPhone programming education with this pesky thing called "A JOB" :-)

(Actually I really like my job)

Anyway, tonight I climbed back into the saddle and began refamiliarizing myself with the things I had already learned several weeks back.

Tonight I reviewed lecture 2.

Still getting used to the Objective-C syntax. It is not difficult but it feels rather wordy.

NSString *phrase = @"Mr. Javapda...but you can call me javapda :-)";

NSLog( [ NSString stringWithFormat:@"Phrase: %@", phrase ] );

• NSString
• NSSArray/NSMutableArray
• NSSet/NSMutableSet
• NSDictionary/NSMutableDictionary
• NSDate
• NSData

Lots of learning...but sadly there are some fundamental development issues I have yet to tackle such as:

How to specify the framework(s) being used in the XCode environment.

I am still pretty excited about iPhone OS3 ...

Last week I picked up a new iPhone 3GS - so naturally I am excited about getting some software written for it.

Stay tuned :-)
