can anyone recommend some tutorials for Cocoa ObjectiveC? basically I'm trying to great a gui program that reads a file and then displays a visualization of it, with a slide.
so everytime the ui will be different with Tkinter that was easy just write a function that packs things to the screen. ex: for item in list: Label(scrollfrawm(), text= item).grid(row=rows, column=0, sticky=W) rows += 1 On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 8:26 AM, Henning Hraban Ramm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Am 2008-08-24 um 23:28 schrieb Jack Jansen: > >>> I'm not a complete newbie in python, but in building GUIs.
