Now that the cat is out of the bag can anyone explain the new NSController classes to those of us not privileged enough to go to WWDC or get the Panther seeds?

What do they do?

Well, they provide a controller capability in the Model-View-Controller type application

Why are they cool?

They are... very, very cool. When used with Key-Value Binding, they can reduce the amount of code required to write an application by orders of magnitude. As an example for a presentation I'm giving next week (at O'Reilly, on the Controller Technologies).. I was able to reduce my Preferences panel code in OpenUp from 350 lines, to 35.. with no loss of functionality, and it added some in the process.

Examples of how to use them?

The Temperature Converter in /Developer/Examples/AppKit is one. More will be coming this week.

Also, the docs ONLINE have a step by step tutorial or two..



Etc.

Thanks!

BTW, Panther rocks!
