Part of the page does not display properly under mozilla. The first source code section is shifted way out to the right!
To call this a “Cocoa Tutorial” is misleading. It looks to me like an “Intro to C”.

Objective-C is C with object oriented features. So the examples will look very much like C unless you are using the object oriented features.
Yes, well that doesn’t change my assessment. Since the tutorial doesn’t cover any Cocoa classes, and doesn’t show any use of the Obj-C features that aren’t in C, then it is just an “Intro to C”
I was hoping for a nice Cocoa primer.

That object of those tutorials is to give the reader the knowledge of C they need to tackle Objective C. Allot of objective c books require a certain knowledge of the C language, this series of articles give you that background. So yes, it has little to do with Objective C and Cocoa
he his working from point A and forth… building a sound base for learning Cocoa as you may have noticed that’s the goal of the entire series…
somebody should do a solid Cocoa article or two. my g5 is on the way and i would really like to have something on hand to start development with

This is a page recensing some articles and tutorials about GNUstep;
GNUstep is an OpenStep implementation, like Cocoa — so you could read thoses articles about GNUstep and practice them on your shiny OS X computer 😉 — the reverse is true, you could read Cocoa tutorials and practice OpenStep programmation on any Unix computer — just install GNUstep… 🙂
