Body
<p>I'll start by saying I'm self-taught, everything I know I've picked up from programmers in the family, self interest and trial and error. </p> <p>I'm currently reading <a href="http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/cocoa%C2%AE_programming_for_mac%C2%AE_os_x_3rd_edition" rel="nofollow">Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X</a> from Aaron Hillegass, but I'm unable to stay interested. I think the main reason I'm losing interest is the absence of the main reason I like Javascript and PHP, which is the overall portability that allows development, hosting and testing on any platform (I have Windows 7, Mac OS X and Linux). Coming up with a project - and therefore staying interested in the language - is much easier when I'm able to use it everywhere. </p> <p>That said, my question is as simple as a request for information on cross platform languages (Java? C++?, * ), or perhaps some suggestions as to projects or methods that may keep me interested in a language long enough to actually be able to start making functional applications.</p> <h2>Edit</h2> <p>For clarification I'm looking for overall knowledge of a language rather than a specific API or Toolkit. From there I could learn toolkits, external libraries and other things as I progressed. The main problem right now is finding a language that is cross platform and preferably respected by the Stack Overflow community (hence posting this here, as this has been an extremely valuable tool for me in the past and I enjoy helping others when I can).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
