Nonetheless, you should not do “as much as possible by hand” if what you’re looking for is a deeper understanding of the frameworks. The Cocoa frameworks are designed to be used with nibs. One of the core principals in Cocoa development is “don’t fight the framework.” Trying to develop a Cocoa application without using Interface Builder is fighting the framework. Learn how things work with Interface Builder first, then do things manually in the few cases where you have to. You’ll get up the learning curve a lot faster and you’ll be a lot more productive at the same time. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
