Where do I start with created this simple app for OSX?

[JPigford]

I've got a fairly solid knowledge of web programming languages but haven't ever really touched platform specific languages.

I'm wanting to build a "site-specific" app similar to the idea used for Pyro. Basically wanting to create a downloadable app that visitors to my sites can download and use certain aspects of my sites from within an app.

I don't have a clue where I should even start looking to build this.

Any advice?

First, download XCode from developer.apple.com and install it. This gives you all of Apple's developer tools and documentation. Explore if you want to, but don't worry too much as 99% of it is very specific tools and info you probably won't need to worry about much.

Then, have a look over Getting Started With Cocoa as this is probably the best starting point. The Tutorial will help you get an idea of how the apps are actually put together.

Next, under Getting Started with Internet & Web look through the section "Developing Web Client Applications"

Hopefully, from there, you'll be able to find the information you need.
