If I may chime in with my own opnions. I started out with PHP, moved on to Java, then now am starting to look at some Cocoa programming. To the original poster - I believe the qu…

Well, learning to program in cocoa is easy, if you have already learned C, C++ and the basic ideas of how a program works, and how a computer actually thinks. It is not easy to le…

No, but I was wondering when or if an academic version will be available.

I too am wondering about the availability of an academic version. I e-mailed the folks at Metroworks and so far, I haven't recieved a reply. I'll post when I get one.

I just bought 5(about a day before 6 came out) it's availible at their store. I also e-mailed them as to how to get my free upgrade, and no luck so far.

I'm not really a programmer ... just dabble from time to time, but I'm taking a Java class and started off with CW5. I got the CW6 upgrade in the mail which has IDE v4.1. As wit…

Well, I have mixed feelings about it. I can see cw 6 satisfying the demands of carbon and power plant users. The interface is still a little rough. This needs to be fixed. Its a f…

I have receveid my upgrade to CW Pro 6 some day ago. I found it more stable on OS9 that previous version. On OS X CW Pro 6 appear to have some graphics problem and I am unable to r…

A .kext file is a kernel extension. They're generally used for device drivers and other things that need to modify the system at the lowest level. They're not the same as classic…

Thanks. So since that extensions folder has what are more or less drivers is it possible to use that type of file to write drivers for things that have been left out or are not su…

What new tools appeared? I didn't see anything new appear in /usr/bin when I logged in as root. Most UNIX commands were already in /usr/bin, but compilers (except for Java).
