I’m Learning Something New: Cocoa, C based programming for Apple
I’ve always wanted to learn Cocoa (C Based programming for environment for Apple) yesterday I stumbled upon a website that is targeted for beginners. I guess it would be very geeky for me to say that I reading programming books like novels, but it’s the truth. I’m really excited and plan to add Cocoa to my “I must learn it or else” pile. I learned C+ when I was in high school.
I’ve always enjoyed computer programming. I’ve always wanted to learn how things work so naturally that carried over top computers. It made sense I spent a lot of time working on them. When I made, the switch to the Mac in 2006 I was determined to maintain my technical skills didn’t diminish it just meant I had to learn another operating system. It has its benefits one of my freelance writing assignments is writing for a technology based website. I mainly write about the Mac. In the future I’ll also be submitting some of my articles to print magazines like Mac|Life and MacTech.
My writing assignments are going well. They are keeping me very busy. I’ve met some more Mac developers. Contacting developers is something I’ve always done even before I worked for a technology ezine however after landing a freelance writing job it has inspired me to be more active with my interaction with developers.
The world could use some more female geeks you know. 
I tell people I’m a well rounded geek not only do I devour mounds of technology information. I’m also a health nut, fitness addict, extreme sports lover (mainly skydiving), who enjoys spending massive amounts of time outdoors, enjoying nature, and taking pictures. Thank goodness for wifi.

I so would love to own an Apple Mac ibook. Everywhere I go is a Mac revolution and I promised myself that I buy one in 1-2 years time. Just bought a new laptop last month and figured it would be too much to learn Mac plus being flat out at work.
Is it hard to do the switch over?
Monika,
No the learning curve is not a big deal I purchased my father a Power Mac G5. My father is a basic computer user and he was surfing the net in no time. Also there are plenty of online sources that are able to assist if you have any problems. They also offer free classes at Apple stores for people new to the Mac OS but you most likely won’t need them.
Gartner, Inc. predicts that Apple will double its computer market share within three years no surprise. Although they credit Apple for their innovation (multi-touch trackpad, gestures, wireless hard drive/base station) they also state that the failures of other computer companies make people start looking at other sources. I do like the fact that I don’t have to keep running to my father’s rescue to fix some new virus that crops up.
Ha, Great. Once again Developing this kind of programming language will boost the entire software growth.
