Hi all,
It'd be nice (for me, anyway) if there was ample printed
documentation on all of the IB palette items (properties, methods,
delegates, etc...). Something like the old "Inside Macintosh" books
(but updated for (at least) OS X 10.3.x), or a nice, hefty book like
Microsoft Press' "Programming Visual Basic 6.0" (around 1000+ pages
or so), but from Apple instead...
I already have the "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" book from
Hillegras, but I'm looking more for a reference manual, not a
tutorial; I hate wasting valuable screen real-estate having an
'online' document open - books are so much nicer that way, IMHO.
I don't currently have a working printer - inkjet or otherwise -
so printing out the existing docs is a non-starter for me for now. :(
selling pre-printed Cocoa documentation isn't terribly viable.
We are constantly updating the reference and conceptual material in
response to developer feedback (and bugs). Up until about a year ago
the Reference was only updated once or twice a year, but now it's
updated on a continuous basis. PDFs are available along with the HTML
so you could print it if you wanted to.
A cheap laser printer ($129) would cost you less than then books
would. The other option is to take the PDF to Kinkos and get them to
print and bind it.
