Amin, It is true that I am new to Cocoa, and although I find the documentation really great and engaging, I have sort of difficulty figuring out what technology is newer/more powerful/built on top of/ other technology.
In particular, would you explain me, in just two words, what are the relations between and intended/typical applications of (in the context of implementing the MVC pattern) 1) KVC/KVO 2) Bindings 3) Core Data 4) Anything else I may have overlooked? If Core Data is really that cool, why don't one always use it instead of KVC/KVO or maybe Bindings? BTW I didn't say I thought Core Data was a database, I said it may be intended rather for database apps. Thanks again :) On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 5:50 PM, Negm-Awad Amin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Am Do,21.08.2008 um 16:41 schrieb Oleg Krupnov: > >> Thanks Amin for responding. >> >> You are correct that there's no need to reinvent the wheel, and that's >> exactly what I'd like to avoid, that's why I am now re-reading about >> KVC/KVO and reconsidering it. >> >> So, does everybody really always use KVC/KVO for implementing MVC, in >> all projects? > > There are some situation, where glue code is neccessary.
