The best place for me to begin is to introduce myself, and give you a little background. I am John Fronckowiak, the President of IDC Consulting, Inc. and a Clinical Assistant Professor at Medaille College in the Computer Information Systems department. I have over 20 years of programming experience. I’ve provided consulting services for a number of companies, and I’ve written over a dozen trade computer books. I’ve also written for Microsoft, IBM, and Apple.

I am a switcher to the Mac platform. While I have used and developed for the PC platform since the DOS days (and stil continue to on the XP and Vista Platforms with Visual Studio .Net) I have come to love and embrace the OS X platform. I hope to provide to you my insights on Mac development - from applications, Widgets, XCode, Dashcode, Cocca, Carbon, AppleScript, Objective C, Java, Ruby, to the iPhone - we’ll cover it all here at the Mac Developers Blog!

I hope you enjoy the ride!
