Chrome's Cocoa coding calisthenics!
Chrome's Cocoa Coding Calisthenics!


MacTalk member chrome writes, "I was reading the various forums, and noticed one forum (I forget which) that has a regular coding exercise, to help people learn a bit more about coding. And I thought to myself, why don't we do that, but with a Mac OS spin, teaching Cocoa, Objective-C and C.

So I'm intending to semi-regularly (once a fortnight? or so) post an exercise for people to do. I will give some hints on what documentation to do, and some hints on probably pitfalls you will hit.

Every exercise will hopefully give you a working application of some kind, that probably won't be very useful, will be easily completed in an afternoon, but will help you get started in your path to learning Cocoa. The goal is to work through a bunch of exercises that will give you some experience with the Cocoa frameworks and the std C library to the point where you will be confident enough to take what you've learned and implement something useful."

Exercise 1 starts with The useless text widget application.
Exercise 2 continues with Perfectly Pointless Preference Panels.
If you're interested in some fairly basic coding practice in Objective C, come and join chrome in our Projects forum & #cocoa channel on irc.moofspeak.net.
