3) Working with NSView (and subclasses).

Kinda generic question, is it not? Have you read NSView.html?

Well anything visible is a view: button, text field, text editor, icon...


Oh, I meant if you could point out some tutorial... I'm right now writing an app that requires me to dynamically create tabs (thats not hard) and put into them a view (either a text view, an image view or a ?sound view? -- that is, a sound clip just like quicktime preview in finder). Is there any reference (besides the not-very-helpful apple documentation: it's quite good if you know how something works and want details, but not good for starting from scratch).

It's not designed for someone starting from scratch, as if it were it wouldn't be very useful once you have your head around some of the fundamental concepts. A newcomer to Cocoa really needs to take a good deal of time and invest some effort in coming up to speed on the fundamental concepts. The best way to do that is to grab one of the several Cocoa books available and work through it -- all the way through it -- reading up on interesting bits of documentation as you go.

Cocoa is an easy system to use once you're in to it, but it absolutely has a substantial learning curve. The Cocoa programming books are designed to flatten out the learning curve a bit and help you up it. The reference documentation is not going to be able to do that for you.

Good luck!
