The Xcode documentation seems to spend 75% of its time explaining
how to port your code from other versions/frameworks/platforms,
but seems quite "diffused" for people who just want to write a
modern Carbon app from scratch.
To some extents this reflects Apple's recommendation to write new
apps using Cocoa.
Yeah, I thought hard about this, but decided to go with Carbon for 2
main (and personal) reasons.
1. Cocoa is a bit of a niche - which is fine if you are doing it full-
time but this is my hobby, so I (personally) don't want to learn
something of limited applicability elsewhere.
2. My day job involves programming in C/C++ on windows (but I'm not a
professional programmer), so I've got quite a lot of experience to
fall back on when I get stuck with a C app. What I'm missing is a
good road map.
Any recommendations for a good beginner's (to Mac but not C++) guide?
Go to Xcode's documentation and do an all text search on "getting
started". Obj-C can be learnt in a few days; you have to learn a
new framework anyways. Tutorials are great.
I will try this, but I'm going to give Carbon 6 months and then
review. Scott recommended Carbon-dev so I've subscribed there.
Allegedly getting started in Cocoa is really easy, but then there is
a bit of a glass ceiling to break through to get into the good stuff
( haven't actually tried Cocoa myself yet). We'll see.
Btw., are you sure you are still a beginner?
Only in Mac application programming. :-)
I started with Z80 assembler many years ago, and later vowed never to
learn anything less general than C when the Z80 turned out to be dead-
end :-)
Cheers,
John.
