[rubyist learn:@"Cocoa" withLanguage:@"MacRuby"];
-------------------------------------------------

Cocoa is a fantastic set of libraries to work with, but Objective-C can be a bit of a verbose beast.  MacRuby offers Rubyists a great way to use the whole framework, but with a beautiful, developer friendly language.  

The only catch is that idiomatic Cocoa is kind of weird for a Rubyist.  What's a delegate?  Aren't we not supposed to use threads in Ruby?  It gets even dicier if one decides to write a GUI application, since most of us are writing web apps and don't encounter the concept of a run loop and don't worry about blocking the main thread for users typically.  Why is this API so ugly?  The unfamiliarity with the assumptions and idioms underlying MacRuby can make it just as hard (or harder!) to pick up.

This talk is a solution for the confusion.  We'll take 6 core Cocoa concepts and look at what they are, how they're used in Cocoa, and use MacRuby to show their usage.  We'll look at:

Remove me from this list and please don't contact me again by any means. That means don't e-mail me, don't call me, don't find me at conferences, don't send carrier pigeons to my house with small notes attached to their feet, don't even wave to me in the street if you see me. I'll snub you right there in public and that will be really awkward for you. I can't be held responsible if your friends don't talk to you anymore after that. And no, I don't care how great your position supposedly is, what technology it's using, where it's at, how many celebrities are invested, how close they are to closing funding, how much equity they're offering, how many times Paul Graham has high-fived the founders, how close they are to the Mission in San Francisco, how much the position is paying, how great the company is, who claims they know me that works there, how big their signing bonus is, or who I'll supposedly be working for/with. I'm not interested.

Just once more to be totally clear: don't contact me again. At al
