Until someone ports this you can get going with Servlets and JSP by downloading Tomcat from the Apache site. I've been running it for ages on OS X DP 4 and its great. The Sun J2EE …

I would recommend Orion Server (www.orionserver.com). I haven't tried it on OS X yet (I'm downloading it now), but it is 100% java so it should run on any computer with a java2 ru…
From what I understand, when the NeXT machines came out, their huge selling point was that it allowed regular people to easily develop applications for the platform. That was the …
I'm in the same boat as you. I want to make my own Cocoa apps but I have to find the time to first learn the languages behind it. Here's my understanding as of now.
Most Cocoa app…
Writing Cocoa apps is easy, *if* you know Cocoa, and have a good firm grounding in OOP design and programming. If you don't know those two things, then no, it isn't easy.
I sugge…
...and yes, you should be fluent in C as well. OOP isn't a holy grail, btw -- it does make some things more convenient, but it can make some things more difficult as well. OOP is…
IMHO learning C++ is hinderance not a help as I keep trying to do C++ style code not Obj-C. Get a Objective C in 24 hours style book and start that's the best way. Knowledge of oth…

Take it from someone who unsuccessfully tried to learn the Mac Toolbox many times before giving up. Cocoa is much easier to learn. It seems confusing at first, but once you keep at…
Are you kidding? Apparently you weren't at WWDC where the #1 complaint from Mac developers above all (well.. not above the crappy perf in OS X) was DOCUMENTATION.
Or the lack ther…

I have the same problem. I've bought over 10 different books on C, ObjC, Cocoa, and all of them say I have to know something else to start. They're also rather confusing.

Just to chip in my two cents... The key is to remember that Cocoa is a framework. That will be a learning experience in itself. Frameworks are collections of objects written for…
Using Cocoa is not like AppleScript. It's not dead-easy, but it's easy in comparison to having to do some things in Carbon. Basically, InterfaceBuilder writes a bunch of the code …
