i know enough c already i just want a noob baby primer on osx coding so i can tinker with touch events, cocoa less so i just figured a simple ui would make visualising it easier

the point where ill be way over my head is when i try to make a touch controlled midi synth but thats probably more of a winter project

a big problem is a culture where "i have to talk fast because I don't have time to listen" is encouraged. applied to software that becomes

"I have to get this code done before the customer changes their mind" and the corollary

"ok, that didn't work, maybe if I can get the code done so fast that they haven't even finished their sentence I can stump them" which is then sugarcoated as rapid application development (RAD!!!) or prototyping

I wouldn't say all software is poo poo, it's just the best it can be

yep software is not easy and i'm wrong because i didn't know the syntax for a dynamically allocated matrix in C one time. Also I make a point of saying that I am not a mast3r cod3r and I am literally in college
