Atlanta, GA - October 21, 2003 - Big Nerd Ranch Announces Cocoa Training on
Panther/XCode in November 2003.

November 10-14, 2003, the Big Nerd Ranch will offer its revised Cocoa
training class, modified to incorporate new features added to the Panther
release of Apple's Mac OS X operating system and developer tools. Students
will receive the edited draft of the second edition of Aaron Hillegass's
book, "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X." The Xcode IDE and the new bindings
mechanism will be covered in the revised course.

"Xcode is the future for Mac programmers, and we're the only ones teaching
it," said Aaron Hillegass. "We first taught this class in September to a
sold-out crowd, and I think it was the best Cocoa course I've ever taught.
November's students will get the same topic coverage, with the added
benefit of editing by the first group of 10.3 students."
