Hi Stjepan, Hi! I already decided — I’d like to work on Core Animation and its integration with AppKit. I think it suits my skillset best. Work on UIKit was also an option, but given the fact that I never did any iOS development, AppKit seems like a natural choice to me. s the places in the GSoC are limited it would be great if you could convince us that your participation will result in a positive contribution to GNUstep. For this it would be nice to learn a bit more about your previous programming experience. Most of my code used to be Python 3. I fell in love with it and in ~4 years of doing python, I did a bunch of smaller projects - most of which were of personal use. An example would be a simple web app that periodically scraped my local public bus timetables and provided info when was the next bus taking off. But I guess Python isn’t really relevant for this project. In the last 3 years I gained substantial experience in C - mostly (but not only) through my Computer Science, Algorithms, and OS university courses. I wrote a couple of side projects, the last being a 3D rendering engine backed by OpenGL. I also did a fair share of UI programming, but most of it was in GTK. I did some rudimentary native OS X development, but a lot has changed in the ecosystem since then. The last couple of weeks I spent tinkering and researching Cocoa internals. It seems super interesting. I’m excited about some asprects of the CA integration - CARenderer for example - as it apperas to have a fair share of computer science packed in. I understand that you are new to Objective-C but this language is easy to learn if you already know C and object oriented concepts. Just tell us a bit what coding you have done before Exactly. I recently dived into Objective C more seriously, and I love it. I covered all the basics and am now tinkering with some more complex parts of the language, as well as exploring the Foundation framework. and feel free to ask a lot of questions about GNUstep. Thanks. I’ve been mostly harassing Ivan with a bunch of questions, but I don’t doubt there will also be questions for the rest of the people involved with the project :) Stjepan On 25 March 2018 at 23:36:11, Fred Kiefer (address@hidden) wrote:
