Week 2 - finished objective C

On the Preparation front
Nothing really - I'm ready for action:

Apple developer tick
Mac present tick
xCode and iPhone SDK loaded tick

On the objective C front
Finished reading Kochan. It was a well structured and written book and I think I'm ready to get on do the iPhones example - my task today. It took about a week - so for your hardcore VB programmers out there, if that's all it needs to atleast get started, then it's not too bad. Of course we've done nothing on data handling, COM or anything really other than the underlying programming language. Still, it's the basis of it all.

In summary, Objective C (and C for that matter) is pretty tedious with loads of ways of going wrong with pointers, arrays etc. It seems very inconsistent compared to VB. But we'll see how it performs with the iphone programming.

C u with my first iphone program....on the simulator to begin with as I don't have my own phone activated yet.
