    Brand new to java

    freaking wrappers... I'm working with j2ee now and it won't let you use primitives for alot of things because of databases, so I've gotta use java.lang.Integer and java.lang.Boolean, etc. Freaking wrappers. I miss operator overloading! Sorry I just needed to vent that it seemed to fit...

    Where to begin?

    How is the "Building Cocoa Applications" book from O'Reilly? I don't want something too basic. I already know how to program and picking up a new language isn't hard for me. I got the gist of Obj-C just from the pdf on Apple's site. What I'm more interested in is practical knowledge of the OSX...

    Following the Yellow Bricked Road?

    I think learning C first is always a good move. The reason Obj-C and Java are so "easy to learn" is that they implement so many shortcuts for you (memory management, for one). If you take these things for granted, you run the risk of making sloppy mistakes. Not so much with Java cause it's...

    Switch campaign - the other way round

    I just recently "switched" to a Mac (before the ads, mind you) and I don't regret it for a second. The new mac I bought is 100mhz slower than the dell i bought 2 years ago. Do i miss those 100mhz? No. Are there other more important things that make up for it? You bet. Like the ad says, "it...

    Will your next Mac have this?

    Nice 'n' pretty is up and down, faster hardware is side to side. Its not like they can take their gay english industrial designers and put them to work in the chip labs. "These layouts are GARISH! It's a jumble of wires and boxes! What the hell is a nand? I want simplicity!" I'm recently off...
