Thread: [Pyobjc-dev] Learning Cocoa with pyobjc

Hello,

Do you have to have knowledge in objective-c/cocoa to be able to use pyobjc
or can you start learning coca in python directly?

Best Regards Anders Olme

You can start learning Cocoa in Python, but it is helpful to have some  
knowlegde of Objective-C because almost all documentation and code  
snippets on the web are written in Objective-C.

Ok. Guess we all have to learn objective c sometime :).

Objective-C isn't too bad, the object model is close to that of  
Python. For GUI programming you mostly don't have to worry about the  
pointy bits in C, which makes it pretty easy to get to know enough of  
Objective-C to be able to understand sample code.

The main thing you'll need to get used to is remembering to
put underscores in the right places in the Python versions
of Objective-C method names. It feels quite screwy at first...
