In my continuing quest to learn Cocoa and it’s frameworks, I wrote the “hello world” of browsers utilizing WebKit. Mostly it was interface builder, with a couple lines of code. I loaded my own blog and Apple’s home page in celebration. Onward!

So it’s been a long while since I wrote anything on Objective-C. It was decidedly not like riding a bike for me. However,I did get the basis of an app I’m thinking about going, wrote a couple of tests, and got some CoreData stuff going.
I’m was excited by some of the up coming additions to the Frameworks. CoreAnimation and Garbage collection are high on my list… and so is the Ruby bridge. And it’s been a while since I wrote a Mac app, and I felt like it was time. Since it has been a while I felt that I should go roots (or Core) rather than work in some of the other environments I’ve used in the past.
I also wrote a tiny Ruby on Rails app to celebrate version 1.2. While I work daily these days in MonoRail (The Castle Project)in .Net it was refreshing to drop in on the framework that has got so many people thinking about web dev.
Anyway, a very interesting weekend from a programming perspective, with plenty of time for playing with Noah (it was cold out for him).
The only thing I didn’t manage was to ride my bike. I feel old, slow, and out of shape. However my spring time workouts begin today with stretching exercises and I’ll be on my bike this weekend one way or the other (Murphy willing).
