Couple days into playing with RubyCocoa and its so far so good! The toughest part of learning any new framework is learning the framework’s terminology and Cocoa’s no exception. Nibs, outlets, selectors, bindings… All foreign concepts if you’ve never worked in Cocoa before. Luckily the online tutorials are fairly good and Apple’s documentation is excellent.

The only problem i’ve run into so far turned out to be my own damned fault. I’m doing a lot of the RESTful heavy lifting using ActiveResource and it really doesn’t like receiving NSStrings as parameters. So much so that it crashes the App. No good. No good at all.

Remember kids, NSString != ruby string. to_s is your friend.
