Anyone got the iPhone SDK...

I downloaded it, but I have no Mac to write or test the apps :(

I have some good ideas.. they're just on hold until the Mac Pro arrives.
 
Cocoa is a development framework, based on Objective-C I believe. I've only just started looking into it - I've got 2 (well, 3 really) projects to finish then I'm going to look at my first cocoa app, with a view to doing an iPhone/iPod Touch one as well.

Is there an app to use cocoa? Im just a bit confused as to how to create something with it.
 
yeah, have a read of the link I sent you :p

you use xCode, which can be installed off your OS disk. I guess you don't use xCode for iPhone stuff, though, because it has its own SDK.

Have you done any development before? If you haven't, I get the impression this might be a bit daunting as a first task.

I havent before, but its the type of thing id like to have a go at. Im just trying to find out what i need to learn first of all.

What sort of project could i do to start off with then?
 
that'll be something for these guys here to help you out with, as I have purposefully not downloaded the SDK yet as I've got other stuff to do first, and I know I wouldn't be able to resist.

If I were you, I'd have a look at using xCode and doing stuff in OSX - I know it's not iPhoney but there is/are so much good documentation/tutorials about that you're bound to find something.

Once you get a handle on that, give iPhone stuff a go. I'd love to tell you what I'm going to do but I don't want these hooligans to do it first!

Have a look at the 'Fundamentals of Cocoa Session from WWDC' which is on the iPhone dev centre under Reference Library - Fundamentals. And probably the Objective-C primers just above it to get a founding in OOP.

http://cocoadevcentral.com/ has some good tutorials aswell.

As a starting project try a calculator.
