Macintosh Development

I am certified to develop Mac applications, but when I started I was always wondering why it had to be so complex to make an application as simple as a couple of windows with interactive buttons. I wished I could just throw some HTML into it and make it look good, but it looked like crap.

I knew that in Xcode you could make dashboard widgets and iPhone web apps. But you could not seem to make them look good in a regular Mac application. I have done research and still could not do it, so I decided to just learn Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, so I did. I got a second display and started making some applications and never bothered distributing them. Maybe I will soon, it was a decision, a very hard one, pay $99 to start distribution, I didn't know if they would sell.

It could have easily been 100 bucks down the drain or it could be a money making extravaganza. I did not really know. Currently I still do not have the distribution package, and I am not planning to get it anytime soon.
