Hi. Thanks again.
I don't have much money; in fact I think I'm done spending much on anything but food and clothing and shelter after buying the Mac. Is there good documentation on Objective C for someone with some programming experience? I have done a little bit of PERL programming and a very small amount of C++, as well as plenty of JAWS scripting and some Java in school. I understand the concept of objects and know HTML pretty well. It will probably be a somewhat uphill slope learning Objective C, but I believe I can do it. I just need a boost. This Mac is a business investment, as I'm sure those of you who are reading this thread have already gathered. Again, Thank you.

The process is quite easy and smooth. However, you have to pay $100 if you want to post an app into the App Store. This virtually means that XCode is free. The only condition for downloading it is that you must be registered as an Apple developer. Cheers, Ishe On 18 Apr,2011, at 3:04 PM, Tony Hernandez wrote: Hey there Ishe. Do I need to pay for the developer ID before I can download the SDK? Thanks a lot for the enthusiastic response. I'm absolutely nuts with anticipation of getting the Mac. I even had a dream about it last night. I just know it's going to be a very pleasant and positive experience.

VO has a way to show that the word is in all caps. You have many ways to know when a letter is in caps, either by the raising of the pitch or a tone. Even deleting words, it will tell you in a low pitch that is unmistakable. Well, about Objective C. Just like all the derivatives of C, it is case sensitive. I hope you won't have any problems here if you'd been used to C, Java, C++ or even the C# on Windows. XCode is the equivalent of Visual Studio on Mac, except that if you want to develop apps, you can also develop those for the iOS devices. It is free to download from the Apple site once you are registered as a developer. However, you only have to pay $100 to Apple so that you can get the developer ID and be able to put your apps in the App Store. Wish you all the best in your journey. Know what? You will find that you will convert full time to Mac before you're aware of it. You will use it for the job and yeah, about you not being a fan, you will be a zealous fanatic of Apple products before the end of four weeks: plus r minus!

I just ordered a not so new MacBook and haven't even received it yet, but I hope to hit the ground running with Voice Over. I can already see this group is full of kind people. I hope to be able to help others soon as well. Now, of course, I do have a question. Proofreading is part of my job, and although I do have a, dare I say it, Windows PC to do it with, I might switch everything to the Mac at some point in the future. I am able to use the windows screen reader to tell when something is either in all caps or in proper case. Can this be done with Voice Over? I'll probably find out the answer to this in due course as I play with the Voice Over Utility, etc., but I've been itching to know this for a long time. I might need to know about it if Objective C has any case-sensitive keywords or variable syntax, etc. Of course if it doesn't give that feedback, it's far from a deal breaker. I have no need to use my Mac for my regular job. I'm very excited to get a Mac. I've been salivating over them since Mike Arrigo demonstrated voice Over. I already have an iPod Touch. the most challenging thing so far for me regarding Apple is resisting the temptation to be the ever-criticized fan boy. Lol. Hard not to be loyal to a mainstream company that would make its own screen reader, do a wonderful job on it, and include it with its $30 operating system at no extra charge.
