Long time software developer (Java, C/C++) and I've done a fair
share of UI work (both web, Windows and Swing-based) but I'm
definitely new to Cocoa and OS X.
I found the Learn Cocoa II is a great springboard (http://
cocoadevcentral.com/d/learn_cocoa_two/). Basically it's a
notepad.. but part of being a notepad is supporting being able to
write files to storage and read them back. This isn't part of the
tutorial (most likely because it goes significantly outside of the
scope of the tutorial).
What I want to do next is the following - and if someone can offer
some direction and help I'd appreciate it:
- I want to figure how to hook into the saveDocument and
openDocument events from the File | Save and File | Open menu choices.
- Display a file chooser.
- Response to the file was selected or entered in that chooser.
- Read/Write to storage.
I think after I have done these things I'll have a fair handle on
some crucial parts of how Cocoa works.
Can anyone 'throw me a bone' here? Thanks in advance!
I recommend you watch all of the CocoaCast videos (http://
www.cocoacast.com/):

These cover just about everything other than working with files. You
should watch them in order since they build an application bit by bit.
