The tutorial beats its purpose, the application is too simple for someone that already knows how to use the Xcode ide and handle coco projects yet the tutorial relies too much on the ide making the language and the framework look confusing and difficult

@siriguillo Certainly explains the quarter of a million views, eh?

Have you ever programmed with Cocoa? Because I've talked to a lot of Windows developers who transitioned to Mac and every one of them says it's not even a fair comparison; Mac is better.

[mixxmexx]

hey stupid, in Windows programming you need to spread dll:s and shit all over the place like a complete retard compensating for a bad centralized os which is a fucking joke instead of getting down to the core programming issues.

how do i use the app kit framework?

[SilverPsychoX]

So, Xcode/Objective-C is kind of like VB.NET for Mac, right?

Sure looks like it :)

@ghamauricio Yeah and to think cocoa was originally intended to be for kids

@Masna360 and point out that the language you are using is Objective-C but is not necessary to use Objective-C to use Cocoa, and that Cocoa is the equivalent to the .Net framework not the equivalent to VB, VB is the equivalent to Objective-C. Try it, i bet your vids will reach the million views then. :)

@Masna360 Most dont notice that comparing VB to Cocoa makes no sense, since Cocoa is a framework and VB is a programming language. Beginners dont know what a pattern is so they dont understand why you are splitting the code in the controller from the UI. Make a video explaining that Cocoa is MVC oriented framework, explain a bit about MVC and your tutorials will be much more effective. MVC is the best pattern for large projects but a simple app does not show the benefits of the pattern.

@Masna360 well there is a lot of interest on Iphone and Ipad applications to motive people to look for tutorials and yours is the first to appear because is the best match to Objetive-C Cocoa Tutorial.

But dont take it in a bad way i meant to be constructive really. The problem i notice with your tutorials is that they are aimed at beginners but you forget to explain that cocoa is an MVC framework and what that means, so beginners complain that VB is easier not noting that VB is not a framework.
