I went to One Utama last night. Why? Because Mac City, the Apple Computer Reseller in Malaysia, is currently holding an event there, the ”Mac + iPod Discovery Week” from 17th to 21st December. As usual, a fair like this will exhibit several products from the reseller where people can have somewhat personal hands on with the products which eventually will make them purchase it (or simply tell others for show off like, “Hey, I get a hold of iPhone that day. It’s very cool lor”).
- Mac + iPod Discovery Week
For last night, I was there along with Amin and Reza Fahmi, the Terato big boss, for attending the iPhone Development talk apart from having fun by testing those gadgets. Conducted by Chris Hong, he gave much of his experiences on developing applications for Mac especially iPhone/iPod. As some of you might already knew, iPhone still has a very small market in Malaysia as it’s not yet officially available. Though, iPod Touch is available and it’s functions are pretty much the same only without those GSM, GPS and camera functions. So far, there are only two applications officially from Malaysian developers (as what Chris said). One of the developers was there, Adrian, who created a simple but useful converter application. Actually, we are somewhat members of Malaysian Cocoaheads, local branch of the international Cocoa Programmers’ Group. Opposed from usual meeting which is 3rd Saturday of the month, we made the meeting earlier as of the iPhone Development talk was on Thursday.

It was a fun experience. Being an ardent gamer on Windows platform, I don’t have much reasoning to use Apple Macintosh much. Yet, as I am iPhone developer wannabe, developing stuffs on Apple platform is a must. For those who don’t know much, Xcode is a tool for programming in Cocoa. Despite it uses Objective-C for its programming language, it can understand other programming languages like C or C++ which also can be integrated into the Objective-C with some simple coding (just like Chris said, again). Oh, those two cats of mine are just additional spices added in this entry.
Well, that’s all for now. :3
