Hello. My first post. I'm learning to program using Xcode 3.1.2 in OS X Leopard. My current plan of attack is working through these books: Learn C on the Mac C All in One Desktop Reference for Dummies Learn Objective-C On the Mac Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X 3rd edition by Aaron Hillegass I decided to make my "long term" learning goal the coding of a simplified GTD app (ala iGTD/Things/EasyTask) that is designed around my quirks and a few features I wish my app had. I realize this won't be easy. From my initial research, it seems I'll need to really focus on Core Data, and possibly the use of OpenBase or some other type of SQL technology. I admit, I'm a bit overwhelmed, and would just like some guidance as to where to focus my attention after I get through the above books. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Trust me, you really don't want to start learning Core Data at this stage. As the docs clearly state, it is an advanced technology. Instead, I would suggest that you implement your application using a technology like NSCoding for persisting your GTD data. This should be plenty fast to start with, much simpler to implement, and then valuable experience for optimising performance later.
