Progress: Day 2

So, managed to make my way around the Xcode IDE a little bit today. Got in, wrote a few console style applications, all throw away code, but all in the hopes that I would be able to get a feel for the tool. To some degree, I have a better understanding of what is available to me and what I can do with it. This is a GOOD thing.

Tomorrow, I have to take as a downtime day. People coming into town and I must clean and prepare for company, so no coding or exploration can be done. This is okay. I need the mental break anyway.

So in brief summation for today:

• Can create new projects
• Can write and run said projects
• Can set breakpoints and step into code
• Can leverage most of the debugging tools, although, a call-stack still seems to be eluding me.

Although, I want to get in and write something with a UI, I am not. This is considered rushing things. I will pace myself.

The goal for Friday is tackling OO concepts in Objective-C and learning the difference in syntax (if any) from C#. So far, language differences have been minor. The ones I've seen so far have been around pointers and memory management / garbage collection. (Imagine that?)

Anyway. Have a great Thursday and I'll see you all back here on Friday!
