Three Solved Problems

This weekend I've solved 3 of the Project Euler problems, the first one (#19) being the most tricky, and the other two came out right on the first try!

I'm feeling very confident coding in C++, and decided to begin learning Objective-C closely.  I've picked the Apple official study materials on Objective-C programming and started reading the textbook "The Objective-C Programming Language".  I'm also continue watching videos of lectures on Objective-C from Harvard University.

My goal is to start making my own simple apps by the end of October.  At the same time I'll be subscribing as a developer to the Mac OS and iOS development programs.  By November-December I should be able to write and publish more complex apps, and by January I hope to release at least two nicely done apps (in terms of coding and visual design).

There is of course the task of finding artists to contribute to the apps visual style and content, the task of making sound/music for the app (which I plan to do myself), and the task of marketing (which I may want to start researching for by the end of this month).

Next week I'll be watching lectures, and hope to begin coding in Objective-C, learning how to build navigation, menus, graphics, and so on.  The final phase of my project has just started!
