Hey y'all - I've been away from Cocoa for a few years (doing telecom
frameworks), and I'm amazed at how sweet the tools have become!
Awesome!
So - as a retread-newbie, what do I need to know to develop an
application like Garage Band's tutorial I/F (example here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/#overlay-learn
)?
Looking at the 2nd still photo, I see the following views, top to
bottom:
- titlebar with MenuItem section (tuner, setup, mixer)
- a background view (gradient)
- splitview with 2 qtmovieviews
- transparent notational view
- a neck image with overlay dots
- location / section view
- a control view with normal and custom buttons (In the "olden days"
if you wanted sweet custom graphics, you had to use Carbon - is that
still true?)
Would the IB layout include each of these, or would it be just 3
custom views (menu, content, buttons) and managing each is done with a
controller?
I'm not (yet) asking for the code - as always, my questions are more
architectural in nature. If this kind of UI is your goal, how would
you go about it?
Thanks!!
Chris
