dabblings in Cocoa

currently putting off all my other todos by dabbling a little with Cocoa coding in Objective C. managed some simple GUI stuff, string manipulation etc. trying to get used to the way the GUI designer and coding are abstracted. kind of a pain to keep having to swap back and forth, especially if you're used to VB, but makes for more structured approach to the whole thing I think, forcing a lot more design in the early stages the way it should be.

I would like to do something meaty with it, but as usual at a loss for a project. I'd have a go at an RSS browser if the excellent NetNewswire didn't already exist.

the AppKit objects have all sorts of intriguing bits and bobs, like the initWithContentsOfURL method for the String object, how cool is that :) also very impressed with the documentation that comes with the developer package.
