Looking for Xcode training resource using C++

I have been programming for over twenty years in the CAD (Computer Aided Design) field, and I would like to start programming on the Mac. I have owned various Apple computers since 1987 (Apple IIGS, SE30, ... G5), and I used to code on the Mac using Hypercard back in the late 80'sm early 90's. But all my work related programming has been on other computers, UNIX based, DEC VAX, and now for the last ten years the PC using Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET 2003. I'm really not that old, I just started coding when I was very young.
I have always loved the Mac and it is the only computer I have at home. So now I want to start using the Xcode environment. But I would really rather just stick with C++ since that is what I've been using for the last decade or so.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a good resource (book, manual, etc.) that teaches the Xcode environment using C++ instead of Objective-C?
Thanks much,
Tom

Xcode is just an IDE. You probably need to make a decision about what API or application framework you want to use.
If you really must use C++, you'll probably have to use Carbon, which exports C APIs. There are some cross-platform app frameworks in C++, such as Qt or wxWidgets, but they're either not free or provide a poor user experience. There don't really seem to be any recent books which detail modern best practices in Carbon, but take a look at http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=CarbonBooks
Most people coming to the platform go down the Cocoa route. Really, if you know C (which you do if you know C++) and you are comfortable with OO concepts, then learning the Obj-C language is just a case of sitting down with Apple's guide for an afternoon. Cocoa brings lots of new concepts to the table, but you'll have an initial barrier to learning an API/framework whatever you go with... Sticking to C++ because it's "what you know" is almost certainly disingenuous.
If you really do just want to learn the IDE, then there are various books which cover Xcode and the associated development tools. See http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=Xcode+Books

  • Looking for good book on using DSLR for shooting video

    I recently purchased a new Canon t3i DSLR. I've been watching videos on YouTube and it seems like this camera is capable of taking great HD video. My test videos look nothing like these examples. I am looking for a good resource that will teach me what settings to use, especially manual settings for shooting videos. Of course it would be great to find something specific to my camera, but I'm sure that the techniques will apply to most DSLRs.
    Thanks

  • Looking for interMedia web sites using text retrieval

    I'm looking for web sites which use interMedia to support their site search function. My goal is to evaluate intermMedia for use as a full text search engine.
    I'm particularly interested in sites which use the thesaurus features.
    Thanks.

    There are many sites on the Internet that use interMedia Text for site search and for catalog search.
    While we don't track which Oracle customers use particular components of the database such as interMedia, here are a few good examples for you to try :-

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

    Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

  • Is it possible to update standard rate for an enterprise resource using CSOM

    We are facing issues while updating standard rate for any enterprise resource using CSOM. The field standard rate is not available in the enterprise resource. Is it possible to update the standard rate for any resource using CSOM ? 
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Vikas,
    You can do it via the PSI.
    Please find below a blog post with a PSI code sample for updating the resources standard rate:

  • I cannot update the iphoto ap on my mac os x because it looks for the ID I used when buying it and I forget the password to that

    I cannot update the iphoto ap on my mac os x because it looks for the ID I used when buying it and I forget the password to that email.
    The emails is obsolete so I cannot get the password from the service provider.
    I have another Apple ID and password which I use - but it won't let me update the iPhoto I bought with THIS cMac

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • Looking for a better resource to get a handle on using effects in after effects (CS6 BTW)

    Hello thanks for looking in,
    I would like to get better control over Zooming. The Zooming I found in AE did not function when
    dragged it into my effects controller...Is the only Zoom control really the "Scale" as found in Prem-Pro?
    I could not find it in AE. I wanted to zoom over the shoulder of my actor and concentrate on what my Actor is looking at/pointing at. I could not find where that effect is at in AE.
    If you know of a couple good tutorials to watch that show how to control the effecst in After-Effects it would be welcomed and appreciated. If you know the specific path to use to pan and
    zoom for my desired shot mentioned, that too would be appreciated. One other ? I skimmed through "Creative Cow" but there are many videos and after watching a couple that were titled what
    I want, were not what I was looking for. Spent an hour plus surfing before I came here to ask.
    Are some of the effects only applicable to one or the other? IE: Movies or stills? If so is there a
    manual that states what can be used with what? I tried dragging some of the effects into my effects area and they would not populate. IE: Zoom Forward. Only used for Text?
    Thanks for your time with this in advance.

  • What to look for a trainer?

      Some questions for you guys here.  I been working in IT for almost 10 years now.  The current role require me to be technically competent to handle migration projects (Windows 2008/Active Directory).
       The good thing is i am encouraged to take up related courses which would be fully sponsored by my employer.  The challenging part for me i think is looking for the right trainer.
    I was quoted with a trainer which has no working experience. But well equipped with technical certificates.  My question is how relevant are these trainers in regard to real production environment?
       Or Microsoft trainer program which they do have attended, are enough to justify their capabilities ?  Mind that their students are the experienced IT personnel which may not be the best in what they do, but they do what they need to do.
      This is just my thoughts.

    I was quoted with a trainer which has no working experience. But well equipped with technical certificates.  My question is how relevant are these trainers in regard to real production environment?
    The answer is you really don't know.  
    Or Microsoft trainer program which they do have attended, are enough to justify their capabilities ?
    Here is how to become a Microsoft Certified Trainer:-
    https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-gb/mct-certification.aspx
    (I inspected the above link by using Google Chrome not Internet Explorer).
    It seem reasonable to assume that if a person has been certified by Microsoft then they must be reasonably competent.
    There's no easy answers to the questions you have posed.
    Sometimes you might find that no matter how technically competent the person is they aren't a good teacher.
    Think back to your school days and the teachers you did / didn't like and why.
    Until you actually get taught by the trainer concerned you simply don't know what they are going to be like so you might like to get other people's opinions of whether a potential teacher would be suitable for your requirements or not.

  • Looking for BPA training in EMEA

    Hi all,
    I am looking for courses or other events providing in-depth training of the BPA tool.
    Living in Norway so events should be held in Europe.
    Have been looking for it a while now, without any luck.
    Does anyone of you know of a scheduled/planned event that targets BPA and that will provide good insight in its use?
    Regards,
    Bjarte Krüger Engedal

    Hi Bjarte,
    There is a new BPA class called "Oracle BPA Suite: Model and Implement Business Processes" being rolled out right now. Unfortunately the only class planned in Europe will be run in German, but you could contact your local Oracle office and ask what the upcomming plans for Norway (or Scandinavia) are.
    You can find more information on the training at Oracle University's web [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D70464GC10&p_org_id=34&lang=D&source_call=]

  • Looking for Presenter Training tutorials

    I know this is the Captivate group, but since many of us use both tools I thought I would throw out the question. i am looking for some free demo's on using Presenter. I haven't had much luck on the Adobe website. If anyone has run across some training on the tool and what it can do, I would appreciate some guidance.
    thanks

    Hello Gina,
    I cannot help you very much, do use Presenter myself. Do you know there is a forum for Presenter? It is a little bit hidden, you'll have to go to the Connect Pro Forums to find it:

    RJ Jacquez blogged a couple of times about Presenter and included some video, you can search on:

  • Looking for Apple training....

    I'm an Apple Certified Mac Technician and love my job. Unfortunately I'm only one person running repair and the retail side of the store. I know there has to be some training courses that teach about the best ways to use GSX, updated repair tips and tricks, or just some sort of conference for Apple repair. I'm looking to learn/train to increase my overall knowledge and provide better support to my customers.
    Anyone have or know any good training/courses/workshops/conferences for repair guys?

  • What to Look For when Buying a Used Storm to activate on Verizon Pre-Pay

    Hi, I am looking to buy a Storm 9550 refurbished for use on Verizon Pre-Pay and am just wondering what all I need to look for.
    Would something like this work:

    Or is it more complicated than just finding a Verizon-branded phone?

    The lugs that hold the base onto the phone are not strong enough and the base often needs to be replaced. Give the base (the bit with the button on it) a tug to see whether it's broken.
