But now I finally found some time to continue learning the cool, but different language: Objective-C.

I started to watch the movies on iTunes U, enrolled as a Apple developer and bought some books, even though I watched over 8 hours of video I haven’t touched xCode yet :) But brewing up some idea’s already that would make cool apps! So look out in the App store if you see my name or my company name scrolling by! :)

The books I bought:
- Beginning iPhone development: Exploring the iPhone SDK
- Apps maken voor de iPhone (dutch)

Other resources:
- Apple developer center

While I was at it.. I saw the Magic Mouse. I’ve had a mac since 5 years now, and mac accessories too, but I always had a ugly logitech mouse next to the keyboard. So now I’m trying out the new Magic Mouse. First impressions are good, it feels good in the hand and it responds better then I expected. The smooth scrolling is nice too, but sometimes when I’m reading an article I accidentally scroll down because my hand rests on the mouse. That’s annoying but need to learn to keep my hand still I guess :)

I found a nice little app, well, a friend gave it to me. It’s called MagicPrefs. It allows you to tune your mouse a little bit more advanced then Apple’s prefs. You can also create your own gestures for the mouse. Quite a handy app. All magic mouse owners should check it out here. magicprefs.com
