i’ve been working on some more objc stuff lately. i followed along with become an xcoder which finally, at least for me, made the connection between interface builder- and things like IBOutlet, IBAction, and custom classes that seem to be missing or glossed over in other books that i’ve read- and xcode. as a follow up to my last post , i just wanted to mention that i’ve finished two mini objective-C/cocoa apps. these aren’t terribly complicated, and were just a smidge more challenging than a command-line tool, but fun and instructive anyway.

first one was a test to see if i could write something from the ground up that actually worked. surprisingly, i could and it did. so the second one was made a bit more useful- it calculates squares and roots of a given number. if the number does not have an integer root, it will display the closest integer root, as well as the square of that calculated number. sounds more confusing to describe than it was to write. if anyone wants to give it a go, here it is:

(obviously it will only run on OS X- just drop it in your applications folder.)

this just brought me a huge step closer to finishing that homework machine i dreamt up a few months back.
