Graham, I think this is a good idea. We certainly need to be positive as Aaron's book was a boon for GNUstep. The corrections I posted on the webste were not criticisms so much as they were simply... well... corrections of things that he got wrong.
I think the list of things you've mentioned are good. I think, as you've said, it's best to approach things from where GNUstep is today. I will let you know, if I think of anything. My skype id is, of course: greg_casamento If you would like to reach me to discuss anything prior to the show, please feel free to do so. Later, GJC -- Gregory Casamento ----- Original Message ---- From: Graham J Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: GNUstep Discussion <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2007 6:19:28 AM Subject: CocoaCast Hi all, there's a podcast called CocoaCast <http://www.cocoacast.com> by Boris Klaydman and Russell Homsy, where they go through the chapters of Hillegass' "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" book discussing the concepts therein. Well, I've been asked to join them in an episode on GNUstep ;-). Any suggestions of things to talk about would be welcome, bear in mind the audience is likely to be Cocoa-centric, but mainly Cocoa newbies. I thought of trying to avoid explicitly complaining about problems in the GNUstep chapter of the book, and instead describing the current state of GNUstep play. In that: - overview of the components -make, -base, -gui, -back and how they're analogous to Cocoa Foundation/AppKit - code portability between Cocoa and GNUstep (and using -make and - base with Cocoa lib combo), NIB support, Windows/Linux/etc. platforms - Summer of Code (there may be a few students listening to the podcast ;-) - some apps (mainly dev-apps like ProjectCentre and GORM) - GUI theming, possibly... any amendments or additions would be muchly welcome ;-). I've asked for write access to the wiki, once I've got that I'll create a page with an outline of the podcast material. I don't know yet when the episode will be recorded. Cheers, Graham. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
