How much for a Cocoa developer?

admin — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 23:55:00 +0000

I’ve been doing Cocoa development on OS X for about the last 3 years in Salt Lake. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of Cocoa development going on in Utah. If you know of some, I’d love to hear about it. I’d also like to know what hourly rate Cocoa developers are making. I make most of my income doing Cocoa contract work and I sometimes feel like I’m getting the short end of the stick here in Utah. It’s great to work in Cocoa and I enjoy my client’s project but it would be nice to make something comparable to what I could make doing boring Java work. So, if you know what Cocoa developers are making, let me know. And if you need some Cocoa work done, let me know. Ruby on Rails work as well.

New version of ICal module

While preparing for my URUG presentation tonight, I found that my ICal Ruby module now longer worked under Tiger. I found the that the location of the files had changed and that the .ics files had changed into XML. So I’ve corrected this and put a new link up in the Developers section of the infiniteNIL website. The old version is still available as well.

RubyCocoa for URUG

I’m giving a presentation on RubyCocoa at URUG tonight. Basically it’s the same presentation I gave at O’Reilly’s Mac Dev 2003 conference, but brought up to date. I’m looking forward to seeing what the Ruby guys think about Cocoa. I think they’ll find it exciting.

I’ll be giving the same presentation at the BYU Ruby group in February.
