I am doing some research into Cocoa# in an effort to get my company to

the answer to is; how exactly are Cocoa objects instantiated by the
OS? Through what mechanisms does OSX communicate with my objects and
vice versa?
I realise the answers to these questions are probably too long for a
message to a list, so I guess I am really asking, where can I find
this information out? :)
It's not really the case that the OS would talk to Cocoa. You can think
of Cocoa as a library that programs link against, if they want to use
Cocoa. In such a case, it is the Cocoa-based program, not the OS, that
instantiates Cocoa objects (using the standard instantiation mechanism
of the language the Cocoa-based program is written in, e.g.
Objective-C, Python, or Java).
What kind of communication between the OS and your program do you have
in mind? Depending on what you want to do, there are several mechanisms
that might be appropriate.
For general information on Cocoa, you can start with this page:
http://developer.apple.com/cocoa/ and follow the various links to find
out more.
With kind regards
