Hello.
I am new to Cocoa and Objective-C. I am, however, not new to the OOP
paradigm (java and c++ are my bread and butter).
I am frustrated because:
1. Apple does not provide any serious tutorials on Cocoa. The only
tutorial I found was something I built rather fast (currency converter
and Hello World). They don't seem to teach you anything (how do I
create/bring up MULTIPLE windows, for example...). I checked the Sample
Code too. Same deal. Nothing real, only small, insignificant apps.
2. Apple's documentation is #?!@. I have been searching for the
documentation of the Objective-C's version of NSRect on their website.
Where is it? I found the Java version, but NSRect is not present at the
corresponding Objective-C Foundation documentation. Not only that, but
in a lot of sections I find the following "Description forthcoming" .
Forthcoming? When? This is not very professional.
I have ideas and I would like to start working on them. Please, if any
of you can point me to a more comprehensive tutorial, I would love to
take a look at it. Also, if the documentation for the NSRect somewhere
out there, and I simply didn't find it, please send me a link.
(Right now I am going through the sample Cocoa apps that Dev. Tools came
with).
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Nick
