A week after I cracked open the Objective-C book, I am happy to say I made it a quarter of the way through. Not bad considering I’ve been really busy all week, and can only squeeze my reading in the evenings just before bed. Of course it’s only really basic stuff so far, but still it feels good to know I’m making progress.
I think my note-taking method is working really well so far. I’m really loving Evernote as a study tool. In addition to writing all my notes in Evernote (I paid for a premium subscription), I’m pasting in screenshots of my code exercises using Jing — and I can search for specific text within the images. I only wish the text editor in Evernote was more powerful.
