Not Objective-C, not cocoa, and not sexy, but painfully lacking in
high-quality modern documentation for beginners and painfully
required all too often.
I am an occasional Cocoa/OpenStep/NextSTEP developer, and it seems
to me that the pace of technology change in Apple's tool chest has
accelerated over the last several years. For example, I have been
playing with the relatively recently added NSController objects,
and they are immensely rich, complex, fun, and useful. The online
documentation such as "Cocoa Bindings Programming Topics" seem to
only scratch the surface. For example, I am just barely groking
how to think about designing my software to effectively take
advantage of controllers/bindings. It seems like a paradigm-
shifting programming technology, and paradigm shifts take a while
to absorb (at least for me).
REQUEST: Instead of adding just a chapter covering Cocoa Bindings
and NSControllers to a new Cocoa book (or update of an existing
one), I would love to have an in-depth book covering this one topic
(or topic group). Maybe something like "Cocoa Bindings in a
Nutshell", 300 pages. :-)
Likewise, "Core Data" seems like an incredibly rich experience
deserving a book of its own.
Cheers,
