Just wanted to say thanks for this video. It was quick and concise, and helped explain how the classes interact with the UI.Ignore the morons who bitch about free tutorials. There will always be somebody who simply won't be content unless they bitch and whine.
Thank you Masna for posting. I tubesocked this to review it again via Apple TV. Great timing for this to hit Digg as I've decided to try programming in Cocoa. I have a need for some tools that I have not been able to find for OS X. I've contacted a few programmers but they had no interest. As I am new to programming, it will take some time but from what I've seen so far in XCode, it should be do-able. Although I haven't finished these two fine books, I do recommend them for the content I've read so far:Programming in Objective-C by Stephen G. KochanCocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegass (bignerdranch.com)I'll try to IM you sometime just to say hi.Ho...
@angelbunny:Trying to be clever?... '==' is an equality operator, not an assignment operator. Therefore, you are asking if XCode is awesome and asking if this tutorial is crap instead of stating it.
It's been a long long time since I've used Visual Studio for C++ programming. However, when I started developing Cocoa apps under Xcode, every corner I turned, every new object I learned about, I noticed that stuff was very clean API-wise. I remember thinking about how much extra setup you had to do to an MFC object (reminiscent of Petzold's book) before you could actually use it. To me, much of MFC seemed more like "structs with attached methods" instead of classes, if you can grok that. In Cocoa, an object is basically ready to do whatever you need right after constructing it. The design of every object I have encountered so far in Cocoa is very clean, very complete, and easily extendable. It's almost like they sat down and actually designed stuff on the marker board before coding it.

I used CS3 app icons and copied them to programs I made. Getting ready for CS3!! :-D

Great tutorial! Thanks. You would probably get more diggs it you used the word AMAZING in your header though...

I don't understand why this got so many diggs. The tutorial is lame, only apple fan boys would digg this.

I have come to rely on many xcode features after iPhone devving for awhile, and the fact that apple provides it for free (sort of) is a big plus
