Are there very many instances where you can not do something in Cocoa
and have to use Carbon?
In my experience it happens often, though of course that depends on what
your program's needs are. For many things (ie. aliases) you'll have no
choice but to use Carbon. I started programming for the Mac back in
November and was surprised at some points by how Cocoa seems to be
lacking in many respects.
Should I learn Carbon?
Fortunately the Carbon API is for the most part simple enough; learn
what you need to when you need to, I'd say. No need to waste extra time
learning stuff you don't need to use. Just pray you need never get
within a ten mile radius of the Quicktime API ;-).
I have only been a Mac user since March, does Apple add to the Cocoa
API often fixing problems like the one I had?
I wish. I'm sure there will be a lot of fixes/additions in Jaguar, of
course... I don't know anything about that though, so maybe someone else
on the list might say.
Good luck, enjoy Cocoa!
