This is a post in my series “Road to Xcode.” I am currently reading Become An Xcoder by Bert Altenburg, Alex Clarke and Philippe Mougin.
08: A Program With a GUI
I compiled my first example application with a GUI, which consisted of tracking down a self inflicted bug. It is expected for me to typo. I should really work on my typing skills as I go along my Xcoding journey.
This chapter was a bit overwhelming with the introduction of classes, objects, and methods. Being new to programming and Objective C/Cocoa is that these concepts are completely foreign to me. I think Ia m getting a grasp of classes and objects, methods is still a little distant. But thankfully the next chapter covers them a little more.
The further I go the more I want to continue on. I think the progression might be a little slower as I deal with more complicated concepts that relate to real world examples (instead of the simple little box I made above).
Congratulations on successfully compiling your first app. You are officially a programmer now! :)
Thanks, barlas! I even had to debug it. ;)
