Big Nerd Dream

0Mike • 2nd Dec 2008 • Mac, Coding, Mac • Big Nerd Ranch, Objective-C

Since taking an interest in programming for the mac I have come across the Big Nerd Ranch. This is a dream week for anyone who wants to start programming for the mac. I would love to go but it is only being offered at a really bad time in my life. The one in January is at the busiest time for tech support, right after MacWorld, and the one being offered in June is right before I get married.

The price tag is also a little big but it seems worth it. I feel that I can come up with some creative applications for the iPhone and the mac if only I knew how to program.  I also follow a fair amount of developers on Twitter and they all seem like really awesome people to work with.

For the time being I will be purchasing a new Objective-C 2.0 book in January that should help me with the basics. If you live in the Sacramento, CA area and are a new developer or a veteran I would love to pick your brain. Also if anyone knows of an active developer forum please let me know.
