Maybe I'm stepping into an argument that9s not mine, but when I heard
whoever say that WO would help one learn Cocoa, I took it to mean not that
it would help learn Objective-C/C or whatever from a language standpoint,
but rather WO would give another example of a well constructed OO framework
from which one could learn principles of OO design. I don't have much
experience with WO, and none with PHP, so I may be way off base, but could
someone comment on my assumption? BTW, thanks to all who responded to my
window capture post!
