Hi Jonathan,
Is it possible to give a link to a (concise?) description of
EOInterface that you're talking about? I did a quick search of the web
but couldn't find anything that seemed like it would do the things
you're talking about... but it sounds really cool, if only as another
way to look at the problem or an educational experience.

I've repeatedly told a variety of people at Apple that if they just

for and how it can be useful. There's a lot of programmers out there
that hear "Enterprise Objects" and think it wouldn't be useful to
them, yet there's some stuff in EOF that would be useful in EVERY
Cocoa app written, especially the EOInterface layer!
Agreed.
For anyone who has worked through the Hillegass and/or other Cocoa
books: You know all that tedious code in the Controller layer classes,
the IB widget target (foo:sender) methods which just invoked an
analogous method in the model class, to set an attribute in the
model class? In other words, all that code meant to get information
from the UI to the Model classes?
That code pretty much goes away. Lots of code goes away. You
just associate a UI widget (like a field) with an attribute from the
model class, and things just get taken care of.
PLEASE, Apple, at least bring back EOInterface.
