I'm curious to know what article you're referring to regarding the
"person who isn't an expert" part. This is completely incorrect. Cocoa
Bindings relies on several other "moderate" to "advanced" Cocoa skills
like Key Value Coding and Key Value Observing. These topics are not
for Cocoa newbies.
I'd like to amend the above for clarity: Understanding the best
implementation using Bindings, the ability to identify and rectify
Bindings-related problems, and the ability to "customize" a
Bindings/KVO/KVC solution require a solid understanding of the Cocoa
Bindings mechanism and its supporting technologies (KVC/KVO).
It's "faster" in simple interface cases to use Bindings, but I don't
think there's a single shipping application that's both complex and
usable that relies on a pure, stock Bindings solution with no glue
code. That's not to say it can't be done, it's just not very likely
... that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. :-)
