I am new to OSX development, heck I just purchased my first Mac last
week. I am interested in programming Cocoa apps for OSX, and I have the
latest Xcode from Panther. I need a kick start guide, because I don't
know the first thing about using it. I come from a UI design and Flash
programming background. I don't know too much about OO, except that
Flash is moving that way recently and I have begun to take the leap.
Can anyone point me to some useful information on getting started? I
also want to know some specifics about the different
languages/frameworks. From what I understand:
Carbon is mostly used as a migration path from OS9 and previous apps. I
don't need to use it if this is the predominate case.
Cocoa is for developing OSX native apps.
Objective C and Java are used in different areas. This is where I get
boggled. Are apps programmed using a combo of cocoa and java (for
instance) or are entire apps done in cocoa? I hear AppleScript can make
full featured programs, but i assume that since it is a scripting
language and not compiled that it is slower once your application gets
larger.
Thanks for all your help sorting this out for me.
