I an a student who has obtained an University degree of technology in
computer sciences. I learned Cocoa a bit and was able to make very
simple applications. Then I have tried to do a more complete
application using everything anyone could excpect from a Cocoa
application (such as preferences, opening & saving files, Copy &
Paste, printing, search and Spotlight support, defaults management…).
At this time I was able (with pain) to support window resizing, a
small database, table views. But now, I want to add more features,
and it's becoming more and more painful. I am hesitating to restart
the work from scratch because I spent a lot of time on it and I am
not sure I won't have the same problem with the new project.
There are things I understand very well (such as Outlets & actions,
Drag & Drop, String manipulation, etc.) But I believe there are more
things I don't understand (using the Layout system,
Internationalization, attributed strings, using pictures…).
I have no idea of what to do now. Read more documentation. Ask here
about technical difficulties rather organizational ones. Starting my
app from scratch and using the previous experience to have a better
design, and using documentation when I have no other choice. Continue
to work on my old "crappy" one (I think it is crappy, but not sure !).
Can you give me some advice about the better solution. I make this
for hobby and learning Cocoa, but I would like it to being well
integrated someday.
Thanks for your advice.
