AUC Workshop Scholarship — Python Cocoa

cliftons

The python cocoa work­shop pro­vided by Apple Uni­ver­sity Con­sor­tium was located at Clifton’s Train­ing Cen­tre in Syd­ney. Dur­ing my two day work­shop, we had struc­tured lessons which enabled us to learn python and cocoa’s abil­i­ties. The lessons started with basic com­mand line excer­cises fol­lowed by an address book project. This project con­sisted of cod­ing *.py files and util­is­ing MAC’s inter­face builder to build the GUI for the appli­ca­tion. On the sec­ond day, we learnt and exper­i­mented with sev­eral advanced libraries one of which could inter­face with a machine’s blue­tooth hard­ware device.

Over­all, this was a new expe­ri­ence for me as i was unfa­mil­iar with appli­ca­tion devel­op­ment on MAC. This work­shop enabled me to be exposed to new tech­nolo­gies, and realise how Apple’s cocoa and objective-​​c lan­guages can be utilised with python.

As i write this blog, i am excited to hear about another work­shop oppor­tu­nity to do with Apple’s X-​​Grid. I shall hope to be accepted to this work­shop as i had enjoyed this first work­shop on python and cocoa.
