I am and head-up .NET /c# development efforts in Chicago. I too am a MAC person in a PC world. I am trying to learn the COCA/Objective-C frameworks. What a departure from .NET....yikes. Look forward to reading and contributing to the blog!

Thanks,

Steve

Hey Chris, you're right, its awesome to see MS developers interested in this new platform....but I can't find one single resource out there specifically for VS .NET developers wanting to learn XCODE/Objective-C/Cocoa etc

A general high level similarities/differences would be a great start.

thanks!

I would say having some background of both Objective-C and Cocoa is necessary. If you're familiar with C#, Java, and/or C/C++, Objective-C will be an easy transition. Cocoa is a different beast and has been more difficult for me to pick up. I'm a .NET developer too, obviously, and I find Cocoa less intuitive than .NET. I'm sure it's just because it's what I'm used to, etc.

As far as books, a lot changed when Leopard came out. Objective-C went to version 2.0, which includes a major shift into things like garbage collection. Xcode and Interface Builder went to 3.0 and Interface Builder really changed. So nearly everything out there is outdated. I would do your best to learn from Apple's documentation (which is weak compared with MSDN) and pick up a book in May/June when the new ones hit the shelves.

Heyy,

I am a .NET developer working for a Microsoft partner in Chicago. I am too excited about getting to code for the iphone regardless of how much efforts I need to take to learn a new platform. Anyways whats your recommendation before touching the sdk. I am a complete newbie for Objective C and Cocoa. Any beginner books you referred?

No U r not the only one.At least some of my colleagues have started that in my office.

My only question was when will be microsoft take such initiative to let some functionality for developers to develop iphone application in Visualstudio with the collaboration of MAC peoples.
