Apple Application Development?
Posted Monday, June 28, 2010 by admin
Can someone please guide me to the right direction for Apple Application development. I have a knowledge of VB .NET, C#, C, C++, and several others.
I come to know Apple use Objective-C as development language, XCode and Cocoa for Application Development in Mac OS X platform.
1. I couldn’t find any Video Tutorials regarding Objective-C, XCode or Cocoa around the web! 
Or please suggest any good book or ebook for this learning need.
2. I’m good with Unix Shell programming too, so is it possible to implement my Shell scripts to make any GUI application in Mac OS X. How? if yes then please guide me a way.
Apple has an excellent set of online resources, free. Join ADC (go to to start) and explore. Objective-C is great, too.
If you are comfortable with *nix shell programming you’ll also love Mac OS X. You can mix & match all sorts of programming paradigms. (Xcode uses gcc, Obj-C support built in.).
Other than the rich ADC resources, you may want to buy some books. I like (latest editions of):
1) Kochan, S., “Programming in Objective-C 2.0″
2) Hillegass, A., “Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X”
3) Jepson, B., et al, “Mac OS X for Unix Geeks”
4) Singh, Amit., “Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach”
Good luck!
