Hey all,
I'm new to Mac development, and I have an easy couple of questions. I
have gone through a number of the dev tutorials, read a bunch of the
info on Apple's web sites about Cocoa and Carbon, and developing on Mac
OS X. But I am finding it a bit difficult to find definite information
on what technology to use to do what. I have several specific things I
am looking to develop, but I'm not sure whether to use Cocoa, or
Carbon, or something else. For example, if I want to do low level file
I/O, networking, or develop a backup and restore product for Mac OS X,
can I do this with Cocoa and Carbon, or just one but not the other?
When to use what seems to be a bit confusing, and where to get detailed
information on how the filesystem works for example seems a little hard
to locate too.
Also, I am not finding the API reference to be, well, very hierarchical
in nature. Perhaps I'm jaded for having used Java in addition to other
languages over the past number of years, and so I've grown accustomed
to API docs that are fairly hierarchical and nature and group classes
with common behavior into package namespaces. Anyway, I'm focussing on
Objective-C, C/C++ development for the Mac, so I am looking for the
best API reference.
Finally, I am trying to determine where the best resources are to get
support and discuss technical issues with other developers -- I presume
these mailing lists are some, but if there are others, I'd love to
hear!
Thanks! Hope to be delivering my first Mac software soon..... :-)
