    Hey all,

    just wondering if anyone knows if there is a demand for Mac developers using objective-c and cocoa here in Ireland. If not, where is there demand for mac developers?

    Thanks.

    There aer a few of us on here working in dev roles like that, not really too many jobs in it in this country though, more luck in the UK I would think, unless you happen to stumble upon the right job at the right time!

    What sort of stuff do you work on?

    Where would you say is the best place to start learning how to develop on Mac with Cocoa?

    Start learning xCode!!

    Getting your head around the IDE is always a good first step. Start looking at Objective C, and maybe some Applescript if you intend your Cocoa apps to be scriptable, which is advisable. If you have any programming experience its really just a matter of picking up the syntax and a few new features for the language. The learning curve here is heavily influenced by the language you are coming from, eg Im primarily a Java head so Obj C was more of a jump for me than it would be for a C++ head, as you would imagine.

    If you are new to programming altogether then there are a lot of steps before these though ;)
