My first osx app

So today months after getting my cocoa book I actually got to writing my first app. Well it’s the first example app from the book and in about 15 min I had a little app that generated a random number from the current time and had the ability to generate a new random seed. In total two buttons and a label plus some methods etc. Interface builder is so far the nearest thing and the code is simple roberite and easy to adapt too. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can get anithe bit if the book complete
