New and Updated Cocoa Documents Available


  • Subject: New and Updated Cocoa Documents Available
  • From: Matt Rollefson <email@hidden>

I'm pleased to announce that a number of entirely new and substantially updated Cocoa conceptual documents are now available at developer.apple.com. These are:

Cocoa Fundamentals Guide: Collects together several separate documents that were previously posted on the site, adds additional material, and serves it up in a single package. The goal of this document is to be the one place you can point a newcomer to Cocoa that will give them the grounding they need to become an effective Cocoa developer.

Cocoa Drawing Guide: A new document on how to draw in Cocoa. Covers integration with Quartz and OpenGL as well as native Cocoa drawing code. We hope that this provides a great starting point for folks who want to draw to the screen in a Cocoa application.

Cocoa Scripting Guide: A new document on how to make your Cocoa application scriptable. Important information for any application that wants to allow end users to integrate its functionality into their workflow.

Views Programming Guide for Cocoa: A new document on how views work in Cocoa. This is more focused on the specifics of NSView than Cocoa Drawing Guide, and covers the details you need to make views work for you.

Scroll View Programming Guide for Cocoa: A new document on how to deal with scroll views in Cocoa. Information about dealing with scroll views, gathered up in one place.

Document-Based Applications Overview: Updated (at long last!) with information on how the new NSError-passing routines in Tiger work, plus numerous other enhancements and bug fixes.


I hope you find these documents useful! Please feel free to provide us with feedback using the feedback links at the bottom of each page on the website or locally in Xcode. (You'll need to download the March ADC Reference Library package, when available, to see these new and updated documents from within Xcode.) We've made a big push on these Cocoa conceptual documents, and while there's always more to do, we're quite hopeful that these documents will answer some longstanding questions and serve as good starting points for new Cocoa developers.


Let us know what you think!
