Love the podcast thanks for doing it. You touched on an interesting topic, iOS devs coming to the Mac. Do you happen to have a list of resources (ie. modern books, tutorials, etc) for someone like that?
Thanks.
Good question! I don’t have a list handy but we should come up with one. It’s also probably a really good opportunity for someone to write a short book on Mac development that assumes you already know Objective-C and UIKit from developing iOS apps.
