I love to consume Cocoa!
The last three weeks have been an absolute joy! I’ve been coding like I was 29 again and dreaming of Cocoa! OK maybe not that part but I’ve found something that I have not felt like in 7 years. The last time I felt like this was when .NET first came around. However for the first time since I’ve left college, I’m actually coding on a platform that was not created by Microsoft.
It’s a weird feeling because I’ve been using Visual Studio when it was just Visual C++ and Visual Basic as two packages that looked like the same IDE. However xCode 3.0 is amazing! It feels right! I’ve tried Eclipse and even that did not feel polished compared to VS or xCode. There are several things in xCode that I don’t think I can do without anymore.
So what have I been doing for the last 3 weeks? We’ll I’m officially a professional Cocoa developer now. Sure I’ve played around with it for years and made my own programs but this is the first time I actually getting paid to do it. Not just one project but I have 3 projects and several more lined up. I’m making iPhone applications for my clients and it rocks! I’m about to release the first product to the application store and I’m very proud of what I’ve been able to do in relatively short period of time.
When the product is released and is approved on the iTunes App Store, I’ll make sure to let everyone know about it.
P.S. Don’t forget to download it when it comes out
