Programming — mGee @ 1:48 pm
It’s been a minute since I posted anything, so I thought I’d hit you with an update. Lately, I’ve been keeping busy with a couple more design projects and in between time, I’ve been taking my programming skills to the next level.
After a long time considering the possibility and usually deciding not to, I finally decided to try my hand at software programming. Right now I’ve begun my quest by first learning the basics using C++ and plan to eventually move on to Objective-C/Cocoa (the mac native language).
The initial goal for this is so I can finally have the music cataloging software I have been seeking for the mac, for so long. It seems that mac users are settling for the inadequate iTunes and no developers want to compete.
I have specific needs, as I’m trying to completely leave the PC platform on my desktop, yet need to find an alternative to my current PC music cataloging/playing software, J.River Media Center.
So, shortly, down the road, I’ll be taking on the development of such an app. Whether I’ll be successful remains to be seen. So far I’m finding the transition from PHP coding to C++ to be quite easy.
I still haven’t decided whether the app I develop will be made public. It most-likely will be quite a long time before I get to the point where I need to worry about that, but I’ll keep you all informed.
Peace and hair grease, I’m outtie….
