I really wish Xcode would allow us to make our own templates, even for NSxxx
classes. The templates they do come wit
initWithWindow: is the designated initializer which is why the template has it
vs one other of the init methods, but it doesn't mean you have to use it. It's
not there to tell you that you need to call it, it's there so you can add
initialization-time code as needed.
The easiest thing to do to

[NSString dataUsingEncoding:]
sometimes you have to look at the source object, not the destination (in fact
usually, I'd say).
Also, in this case, [NSData initWithString:] would lack the information needed
to perform the conversion - you need to pass in what encoding you require.

If you create your data model in Xcode with its data modeling facility, you can
give it a default value right there, when you select the attribute (no need to

As is the case with all NSViews, the frame of the view defines the area
occupied by the view in its superview's coordinate system. The bounds of a
