Copenhagen Cocoa “blog” is changing, mostly because I am not satisfied with it. Copenhagen Cocoa will now be in published English instead of Danish, the collaborative blogging model will be discontinued, so now its more my own personal blog, and I will be much more active than I have been before.
I want to thank everyone who contributed with great posts to the old Copenhagen Cocoa, and I hope there are no hard feelings now that I am trying a different course.
Copenhagen Cocoa will still have meet-up announcements for NSCoder Night, and CocoaHeads, I will make a category for such developer events, and you can then choose to just subscribe to that category, if you are not interested in my opinion on anything else.
So what will i blog about?
I planned on blogging on various subjects including, Web-design, Apple, UI-desing, Mac, iPhone, Graphics Design, Google, Speculation, and anything else that might hit the web. I might write some stuff regarding information-politics, since that is a subject i believe needs some exposure in Denmark, but fear not, this will not turn into a political campaign, and mostly be about technology (without the politics).
I will probably never become a programmer, even that was the reason i started NSCoder Night in Copenhagen, but I have soon found out, that for me coding is dull, and something i limit to web-development, where i can get immediate results. I will still blog about frameworks and new technologies that are programming oriented, and i will still host NSCoder Night, because it’s great fun, but if you are looking for practical code solutions or code introductions to a framework, you will not find them here.
You might be wondering what I am doing with CCDC and NSCoder Night, if I never intend to be a programmer, to that I would say that application development is more than just programming, and my heart and interests is more in the design and polish of the application, and not the code itself, with that said, i still want to know, on an abstract level, what different technologies and frameworks are capable of. I believe that it is important for a designer to know what the targeted device or platform is capable of.
I hope you still want to follow Copenhagen Cocoa, even though it just made a radical change, but change is needed for progress, and “you can’t stop progress”.
