Objective-C & Cocoa • Objective-C, a small superset of ANSI-C that allows object oriented programming [object performActionWithParameter: aParameter]; • Cocoa, a powerful API for creating native MacOSX applications Objective-C Aqua UI Runtime Cocoa Foundation Appkit ANSI-C CoreFoundation

Cocoa & Objective-C • Objective-C, a small superset of ANSI-C that allows object oriented programming [object performActionWithParameter: aParameter]; • Cocoa, a powerful API for creating native MacOSX applications Aqua UI CoreData Webkit PDFkit Foundation Appkit CoreFoundation

Core Data Cocoa Bindings PDFKit Tab controls WebKit Spotlight Papers & Cocoa life made easy

An example: dynamic plugins • Importers / Exporters • Search Engines - (BOOL)readyToPerformSearch • Protocols & Delegation - (void) performSearchWithQuery: • Simple but powerful - (void)didBeginSearch:(id)sender - (void)didRetrieveObjects:(NSDictionary *)dict • Dynamically loaded at runtime - (void)didEndSearch: (id)sender; - (BOOL)successfulCompletion;! - (void) performCleanup;

New A free toolbox: XCode 3.0 • GCC • XCode 3.0 • Better workﬂows • Refactoring • Snapshots • Inline debugging • Interface builder 3.0 • Completely redone from scratch • Support for core animation built-in

New New ways to debug: Xray • CHUD Tools (Shark) • Garageband like UI • System monitoring • Memory • Network • etc • Build on DTrace
