On the sample code page there is a section about porting with links in
it to sub-topics including User Experience and Porting from Windows.
One thing I would find very useful is samples of converting Microsoft
Resource (.RC) files to .nib (or .xib). This is the really difficult
problem of converting software to Mac OS-X from Windows. Code is much
more straightforward because of commonality of programming languages.
After developing a system with many pages (and form layouts) on
Windows it would save an immense amount of effort to either have
Interface Builder read these files, even with a rough conversion, or
at least give some comparison of the various widgets on Windows to
corresponding ones with an Apple.
Yes, Apple User Experience guidelines are not the same as Windows, but
converting an app should not mean starting the design process from
scratch.
