Macvaerk User Group and Cocoa Demo Resources...

Here is the homepage of the Danish Mac User Group "Macvaerk"...

They have weekly meetings on tuesday evenings, and everyone is welcome!

They also recently had a rather good introduction to Cocoa/Obj-C, which I attended. Kudos to Daniel Eggert for a good performance on the stage! The Demo Cocoa-App that Daniel has shown on stage is available here... Demonstrating Value-observing through bindings and some transformations in raw ObjC-code, based on the data-values supplied by these bindings.
Key-words:

• Cocoa bindings
• Key Value Observing
• MVC Cocoa
• Interface Builder/Xcode

Generic properties w. KVC...

Here is a nifty way to replace several lines of code using KVC in a fashion were multiple properties are loaded into a NSDictionary instance in one step.

Great Cocoa podcast

Become an Xcoder...

Here's a little PDF download (2MB), outlining the basics of Xcode practices and Objective-C. The CocoaLab source of this download also contains good tutorials and some select Code examples.

You might not like the Objective-C syntax at first, but you will love its elegance in the long run (I guarantee it!).
