I didn’t have experience with Cocos2D when I first use this program and I lacked any Apple hardware to follow along with the tutorials that you get online. Although this was my case, I was still able to learn and follow along thanks to their images of what the game would look like after given code examples. I now feel more confident with the fact that I can work in an Apple environment, and development full games utilizing Cocos2D.
