Hello,

I an a beginner to mac programming. Believe me, I have tried learning many times, but due to a lack of purpose and interest(in the project instructed by the tutorial) I have failed to achieve anything.

As of now, I am looking to make a desktop program, which perhaps crawls the web to gather specified information. I hope this wouldn't be so difficult. Would anyone understanding be nice enough to guide me towards the right direction?

Thanks in advance!
 
It would probably be easier to write the web crawling code in Python and then embed that in your Objective-C application to deal with the UI and other fancy features.

There is lots of information on web crawling that a Google search will give you.
