XCode… hmm…

This weekend, instead of going camping like I’d planned because of some major car repair issues, I decided to play with XCode and take a stab at learning Obj-C.

Is it me or is XCode a bit unstable?

It’s one thing to crash when building a project into which I’ve written craptasticly buggy code, it’s quite another thing altogether to crash when building an empty default project.

Update: I am, however, thoroughly enjoying this. The class library available is incredible and, syntactic idiosynchrysies aside, Obj-C is pretty straight-forward.

Just one question: do I have to name function parameters? Can’t I just pass a parameter straight up?

    By the way, I highly recommend these two books:

    Programming in Objective-C (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672325861/qid=1078271694//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-2319737-4643222?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

    Cocoa Programming

    (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672322307/qid=1078271766/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-2319737-4643222?v=glance&s=books)

    I’m going to cover NSString and compare it with Python strings very soon on the new-and-improved Rosetta Stone site…
