As I said in my original > post, I have wanted to learn Objective-C There's actually not all that much to learn about the language itself. Class declaration, message passing, and a few other OOP fundamentals - that's it. The class library takes a *lot* more time to learn. It's very intuitive, but it's also quite large. But, you can learn many of the most useful pieces of that with just Foundation - memory management and autorelease pools, collection classes, i/o classes - there's lots of good stuff you can do without a GUI. sherm-- -- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me!
