From the article:
"In a typical development environment these days you drop stuff onto a
blank window, assign some events, add some code and compile. With the
Mac it is a lot different, the abbreviated version goes like this: Open
a new project then drop stuff onto the Window, called a nib, so far so
good. Create an Object from a separate panel and create an instance of
that object. Add a series of Outlets and Actions. Connect each outlet
from the object to each display kind of thing you dropped on your form.
Connect each action to the do things object you dropped on your form.
Generate the initial code. Add your bits of code, build and test. If
you add anything new to your form, create new code, merge it with your
old stuff and start again."
So the major, irreconcilable difference between Cocoa and his other
beloved IDE's is that Cocoa doesn't make it easy for you to shmutz your
business logic into your GUI code?
Maybe he has a point with the documentation, but notice he fails to
give one concrete example.
Imagine this guy as a political commentator: "Now let me tell you
about this guy George Bush. He said a bunch of stuff, you know, and
trust me, he didn't know what he was talking about. Other Presidents I
have heard talk before were much smarter, like Bill and Hillary Clinton
and Jimmy Carter. Not that I'm going to give you any particular
examples, but trust me, Bush is an idiot."
Oh well.
Best,
