OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

Apple seeds OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2 build 14A261i on Tuesday, June 17, 2014.

The first OS X Yosemite Developer Preview was too buggy for my 2010 MacBook Pro. The font doesn’t look right and I suspected that it was designed to look best on Retina Display. The support for NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M was pretty abysmal.

I have not had enough time using OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2 to find out if it’s going to run well on older Macs. Time will tell.

The Swift Programming Language

I am really excited about Swift Programming Language that was introduced at WWDC 2014. I have downloaded the book from iBooks Store.

The Swift Ptogramming Language on iBooks

I learned C and C++ back in college and actually became a T.A. for two semesters teaching them. After a while I was bored with programming until recently, doing web-programming with PHP and CSS. I have had a few ideas and prototypes of iOS Apps but none of them was ever finished. Swift Programming Language has brought some sparks back in me to get back into programming again.

So You want to install OS X Yosemite Beta

OS X 10.10

Anyone can join the OS X Beta Program and download OS X Yosemite 10.10 Developer Preview. The truth is that the current Developer Preview build is definitely not for you.

Why?

There are still tons of issues with this particular build. A lot of visual tweaks needed.

Should you still insist on installing OS X Yosemite 10.10 Developer Preview, do yourself a favor by installing it on a different drive than you working drive.

In four weeks we should see a much better build of OS X Yosemite Developer Preview.
