Is this thing on? (an introduction)

I hope I'm not alone here, but I struggled to find a great resource to conversationally walk someone through Mac development, iPhone development, or even Qt. There are tutorials scattered about, but not much of a community to help someone set up their environment or feel their way around this space.

That's why I'm writing this blog. If I need something like this, someone else obviously does.

My aims are to focus on four main areas:
Learning iPhone development
Learning Mac development
Learning Qt Development
[Insert your favorite topic here]

So, at the very least, your favorite topic will be focused on too.

I look forward to getting your feedback as I begin to build this site from the ground up, as I learn how to make my first iPhone and Mac applications, and try out Qt as well.

  1. I, for one, would appreciate you learning Qt more than anything else--since I switch between 3 platforms and will probably never write anything completely Mac-specific, and since Qt had some great news today.

  2. I'll walk through what I'm learning in my UI course regarding Qt - hopefully that'll be useful to the readers.

  3. Coming from someone that has no experience developing mac specific applications (I just worked there): you'll be pleased to know that the overlap between iPhone and Mac UI development is supposedly extensive. I think there are only a handful of classes that you'd use differently for an iPhone than you would developing for the desktop.
