Cocoa Programming

This week I started reading Aaron Hillegaas’ Cocoa book.  Learning Objective-C is a bit confusing – all the []‘s and @’s, etc – but not too bad.  It reminds me a lot of Smalltalk if you used a salt shaker to sprinkle some C on top of it.

What I think I really need to do, though, is just start some OpenGL tutorials and start creating games on OS X, then add the Cocoa bits later.  From what I understand right now, I don’t really need to use much of Cocoa to make a game for OS X.  So I can just add the Cocoa parts later after I figure out how to program a straight game.
