I did more work after yesterday's blog. I finished all of the exercises in chapter 2. This was not done on a mac. I downloaded Objective-C for Windows via GNUStep. After some trial and error and some minor code adjustments, I have it working! Very happy as this may preclude the need to buy the mac until August. But we'll see. I will be loading GNUstep on my work machine tomorrow.
Sunday: I had a very early day taking my daughter to her sport very early this morning. I also attended it and it went from 6:15 AM to 3 PM door to door. At 3 I started reading but at 4:30 I was awakened by my wife to alert me that we had to go to an event which was followed by another event. I got home 9 PM and started reading a bit. I am up to page 38, learning about classes. There is a lot of syntax to learn. I also have to understand why things are done certain ways but I am guessing that will happen as I read more.
I am actually at peace with the whole finish this in a year thing. It puts less pressure on me to read quickly. When I read quickly I find my mind wanders and that I skip over things. Now I find that when I read, if my mind wanders, I come back just to make sure I understand it.
