Re: how is C often used in Cocoa, if at all?

I've been using 'C' on UNIX since about 1985, I'm still learning Objective-C.

Most of my projects tend to use Objective-C for the GUI and 'C' for the back-end. I find this works for me because I can write an X11 front-end for other flavours of UNIX and a Cocoa front-end for OS X.

Regards, Rob.

Hiyer,

I'm currently learning C before I get stuck into Objective-C and Cocoa, and am just skimming this list in preperation - to see what's going on.

And I'm wondering if C is used much in writing Cocoa applications? It doesn't seem to be, from what I've read on here, or have I got the wrong impression there?

How often, and how is C often used from within Objective-C and Cocoa, if at all? Are there some things that lend themselves well to being written in straight C, and other things that don't? Which sort of things? Is it just a matter of preference and ends up being easier not using C?

I know these are very broad questions but I'm just trying to get an understanding of how C fits in generally with Obj-C and Cocoa.

thanks, Ben.
