[iPhone SDK] Best place for starting XCode/Cocoa?

**Shamingo** · 03-07-2008 06:46 AM

I hate being a n00b. So I'm just going to get over and say that I am completely lost when it comes to XCode/Cocoa. I also am not so keen on Objective C. Can anyone point me in the direction of maybe a book or two. Maybe some sort of website? No pointing and laughing

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick listing of the links. I'll start there and if I'm still lost...I'll just force myself to figure it out!

I just spent 3 months of my life learning the wrong programming language - python.

Why did I do that.

Thanks for the link boys1

^ for those of you who prefer the feel of real paper

Seriously, probably the best intro to Cocoa and OSX programming. Its fairly easy for begginers to the Obj-C language, but it does require at least a bit of programming knowledge. wont have anything to do with iPhone programming specifically, but the concepts you learn will be the same.

I never programmed in Python before, but i think it's pretty similar to PHP and in that case Python is very easy to learn. That means you now know the basics in programming, and can more easily learn other programming languages.

The first programming language i was introduced to was PHP which was fairly easy to learn for a novice, and when i started learning Java/C# i quickly realised how similar it was to PHP. I think learning Java/C# would be a lot harder if i didn't know any languages first.

Now i'm about to start learning Objective-C/iphone programming, and it doesn't look too hard, since i already know the basics

Yeah, tutorial is good place to start.

But is there any document to understand the OS architect? It is really important to understand before writing a real application!

Does anyone has some information?
