    Hi

    Congratulations for the website and for the podcast. I’m a new guy to Xcode, although i work as a programmer for more than 10 years, and your podcast got me introduced to the world of Xcode.
    Keep up the good work!!

    Hey Kevin,

    great tutorials man! I was a total idiot in Xcode but I managed to get the basics down thanks to your screencasts. Keep up the good work!

    Hi Kevin,

    I’m also chiming in to thank you for the podcasts and the effort you put into them. I am only on episode 3 but look forward to working through the newer episodes.

    I found your podcast via the iTMS and hope to learn enough to begin building (small) apps on my own. Being a visual designer and illustrator (i.e. non-programmer) will make learning Obj-C/Cocoa difficult but I think your podcast and relaxed approach will help facilitate that learning.

    If you need help with any icons or art assets for projects, I would like to help (I linked back to my website in the comment form). It’s a way I can repay you for the assistance your podcast supplies.

    Hey,

    Another thanks for the great podcasts. I am a CS student, and I am teaching myself Obj-C in my spare time. I have bought Hillegass’s cocoa programming for OS X book, but I find it more entertaining to learn from screencasts.
    Just finished your coinflippin’ podcast, and I love how you don’t muck about, and get straight to stuff like creating new threads :)
