Aloha eenu,
Count me in as well. I graduated from Hawaii Pacific University in January 2005 with a BCSC degree, but haven't done any coding since then. My job is actually more with getting computers - running Windows, UNIX, and Linux - on a network to communicate together, so it doesn't involve any code work (I work as a C4ISR Network Engineer, as a civilian contractor on a US Army contract). Beyond that, HPU only teaches Windows-based coding, in that students must purchase a Windows-based IDE - no Mac coding there.
I am very interested in learning Objective-C and attempting to program the "next greatest (Universal) app" using the Cocoa framework. Of course, I know that my learning curve will be a bit steep, but oh well
The more I learn about my Macs (I just made the switch last August), the more I realize what a great decision I made when I switched. One of the other benefits is the user community. Mac users, at least in my opinion, are far more open and supportive of new, or inexperienced, users than our Windows conterparts.
With that said, I will have some rather "interesting" work hours over the next six weeks, so I don't know how much I will be able to contribute. I will endeavor to participate as much as possible, however. Hey, maybe we can form our own software company
