Re: [MacGroup] Where to start (Part2)

[Sandy Price]

John -- I'm a self-taught PHP programmer and mostly use mySQL for database. It's not too difficult to learn if you get a good book (I would recommend one of the OReilly books, but there are lots available). There are some books that teach PHP/mySQL jointly. Set aside a couple of hours 2 or 3 times a week to work thru the book.  Start with the basic, 'Hello World' script and build from there. I'm happy to try to answer PHP/mySQL questions.  As for the Cocoa and Objective C, I've not worked in those languages, so can't help you there. Good luck, Sandy Price Sent from my iPad On Dec 29, 2010, at 10:29 PM, John Robinson <prof...@insightbb.com> wrote: I wrote to the programmer tonight, here is what he uses: As far as the program, you are right, there are lot's of pieces and each one is coded in a different language. It seems silly to do it that way, but it's like anything, you use the best tool for the job. Here is the list: Silent Partner Monitor: written in Objective C using the Cocoa application library the file conversion tools, cbotdtl2sql, cmeprice2sql, cmesettlement2sql: all written in C misc. procedures, functions, & triggers written in MySQL user interface written in PHP emailing triggers written in AppleScript So, I am toast!!!  I still want to begin, I will call some of the schools but who in the world will teach something in Cocoa for the Mac?   John _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup Sandy Price Avatar Graphic Services graphic and website design 414 Baxter Avenue Suite 200 Louisville, Kentucky 40204 502 584 3868 (voice) 502 568 4775 (fax) http://www.avatargraphics.com
