Re: Carbon to Cocoa migration



It all depends on the number of ui elements you have to convert. But that aside moving from carbon to cocoa isn't as big as moving from PowerPlant to cocoa IMHO, and no its not exactly the same. That will make even the most enthusiastic engineer's sphincter pucker (not to mention CodeWarrior to Xcode). Its fun but a lot of work and in fact one of the projects I've worked on does, to this day, still have some PowerPlant based ui in it. On that project we got to the point where only if a ui element had been respecified did we convert it to cocoa (shipping deadline, etc.).

The nice thing is with Objective-C++ you don't have to redo the underlying code (for the most part at any rate).

I'm looking at this and thinking anytime you start talking about it the entire discussion becomes parenthetical.

I'd be interested in hearing any war stories about moving an application from Carbon to Cocoa: what worked, what did not, big wins, black holes, etc. Thanks!
