Hi folks,
Personally I wouldn't use Cocoa for this problem, I'd use Automator.
Yeah, I thought after I posted that applescript or Automator probably
be the easiest way to do it.
Core Data would simplify your life
I was thinking it would be a nice way to get better at Cocoa if I did
it that way rather than scripting. I been using cocoa liberally in my
code for about 4 months; mostly the NSArray, NSString, NSNumber and
NSEnumerator classes. So think I'm ready to move on and learn
something more advanced. I have never used CoreData, I do have Tiger
so it is a possibility for me. How might CoreData's attributes and
relationships concepts simplify this problem for me?

You could try
http://www.automatorworld.com/archives/feed-to-ipod-note/
for a start, maybe with some iCal interaction for your
future requirements.
From Cocoa you could start with Services:

Cocoa/Conceptual/SysServices/Concepts/menu.html

Hi folks,
Does anybody have some pointers on how I can make
this simple
application, e.g. what classes do I need to read
about etc; this is
my first attempt.
The Problem:
I get lots of books out from the library. I first
look up what books
I need from the libraries website which contains the
books name,
author, publisher but also a very long and hard to
remember number
indicating it's physical location.
My Idea:
I would like to make a simple app that transfers the
book details
from the library's website to my iPod's Notes
folder. I imagine I
could select the text and drag it on to the app or
highlight and
control click and choose 'Transfer to iPod Notes'.
Then when I arrive
at the library I can just look it up again with out
fumbling with
paper and of course listening to some tunes!
I would eventually like to make it more complicated,
for example it
could hold information on return dates and some how
notify me etc.
Daniel.
