Cocoa Programming
Anguish, Buck, Yacktman

Rating:@@@@@

In what will probably remain one of the rare products to ever get the highest possible Rixstep review rating, authors Anguish, Buck, and Yacktman take the reader on a tour-de-force journey through the world of Cocoa. Three hundred pages into the book they’re still explaining how the system works (by way of comparison, Simson & Garfinkel waste your time with 140 pages about how to click on push buttons) and how you as a developer should regard it. Programming discipline and proper training mean a lot here. Apple have ‘Inside’ books available through Vervante, but they’re famously unhelpful. Cocoa Programming takes the reader through the forest and shows where the trees are, and it covers everything, from advanced views to creating one’s own frameworks, to different techniques for multithreading, and so on and so on through well over 1,000 grueling pages.
Read this very carefully: If you are a professional Cocoa programmer, or a professional programmer planning to take a look at Cocoa, there is only one book you will ever need, and this is it.

IB Wisdom: who knew?

IB Wisdom: who knew?

Another old one about IB (Interface Builder)…

But, if you let me answer: I don’t knew it!!

Windows of Perception.

I’m sorry! It’s an old link… But it’s worth it, specially, if you come from the Mac OS Classic Good Times… when Finder Windows were Finder Windows or so I…, Well… I’m not a coder but I can figure out how much things have changed…

Yeah! We can even say that “Carbon” it’s just another API… in OS X…

But can we speak about “Full Equivalence” between Carbon and Cocoa?

Read this and you will have a better idea about it!! :-)

Or, you can also read another example that can also help you think about the suppossed ‘full equivalence’ of Carbon and Cocoa.

IMHO and IMNCO, this doesn’t means that you can not write great apps using Carbon or Carbon-Cocoa or Cocoa-Carbon. There are a few that I love!! But it means that, “at least”, you will need more code lines.

So, once more: can we speak about “Full Equivalence” between Carbon and Cocoa?

For me, the answer its clear, even from a non-coder perpective…

Update:

Old links, but worth the read:

the-cocoa-carbon-advantage.

Pimp My Code, Part 12- Frozen in Carbonite.

And, if I can say it, as a non-fanboy and also as a non-coder, avoid Gruber’s comments. I’m sorry!

Singularidades, Reglas y Excepciones

“Der Ungebildete sieht überall nur Einzelnes, der Halbgebildete die Regel, der Gebildete die Ausnahme.”

Lo siento, no recuerdo de dónde lo saqué.

Por cierto, con “singularidades” no me refiero a lo mismo a lo que se refieren los Físicos cuando usan esta palabra… :-)
