Obj-C: Why Learn Objective-C?

I began this blog primarily as a tool to put send out my views about how I would like to see the Apple software and hardware that I use progress. But as a DIY kind of guy, throwing out my views into the world isn't enough. I wanna dip my hand into the process.

So I want to try to learn to make Mac OS X programs myself. I'll be using Cocoa and Objective-C to reach this.

My starting point is pretty much zero. I know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and have read the first chapter of books on various other programming languages repeatedly, getting no where and retaining almost nothing. I picked up all that on my own; I have no formal technical training whatsoever. I've got a BA in politics and am currently working on my JD.

So from here on, all posts that focus on this will start with Obj-C for easy reference. I don't expect to progress rapidly in this venture, but as time permits you will see more of my traipse into programming on this blog.
