Response to: Programming With Cocoa series dying?

I vaguely remember something about Applescript getting amplified in December or its own builder and my promised developer cd for September, so I am waiting for these two things, the column and your cd. I hope that we will continue to have Mike's graphics story continue when he can. I thought he was just off for Thanksgiving and sort of tried to cover responses so we wouldn't all get lonely. I hope the scripting promotes interapplication communication. I had hoped to get a foundation for supercomputer clusters by going through the objective c thinking. Maple kind of wanted me to do everything in Maple to advertise their "box". I need more to learn how to think "out of the box" and maybe even help build the "box". I got a c program to talk to a Maple program a few months back. The glory has faded from my memory. I'll look forward to this F-script detour whatever it is (I can stand being curious) and to Mike getting back to the graphics tricks when his school life lets him. |

Cocoa in general

That's good to hear! I'm really glad that the Cocoa articles are continuing, you are doing a great job Mike, as are all at O'Reilly Net. I can't begin to tell you how useful your tutorials have been to me and my Programmer's SIG, I use them all the time. Think about it Mike, you are helping to bring a whole new generation of Mac Programmers into the fold.
Believe me, I know what finals are like. And yes, those dratted Saturday finals are a killer, especially after you have already "graduated".
The toughest thing about learning Cocoa is to understand the framework, and know what parts should do what and where. There are altogether too few resources available for this purpose, although it looks like a couple more books will be arriving soon.
Anyone have a word if there is going to be a "Cocoa in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly?
Bottom line: We're going to continue to publish "Programming with Cocoa" regularly, and we're going to add more Cocoa content to run with it.
Our dedication to covering Cocoa is as strong as ever.
