Writing applications for OSX.

Hey everyone,

 

I'm a graphics designer and I recently I have found myself very interested in writing applications for MacOSX. What would be the best way to start? Im a self leaner, I've taught my self to design, write and produce music. Small tutorials would be helpful, how did all you guys start? Which coding languages should I be looking at?

 

Cheers

Do you have any programming experience?

 

Also check out Real Basic. It can create cross platform apps, imports Visual Basic, and has a simple and easy GUI builder.

For someone without experience this might be an easier option but will still allow you to produce high quality Mac look and feel apps.

I wouldn't use RealBASIC, if I were you. It is a completely separated language, and has no common ground with most other languages. If you learn C, you would be able to learn nearly every other C based language (C#, C++, Objective-C, etc).

 

Cocoa is not a programming language, it is a programming interface (API). Cocoa can be used with many other languages, including C++, Python, and Ruby.
