First hand on Objective-C and Cocoa

November 29th, 2006 at 16:15 · Filed Under Cocoa, Mac OS X, Objective-C, Software Development 

I am attending the Cocoa Bindings and Core Data Workshop at Apple Malaysia. This is the first time I look at Objective-C which is a superset of C. Objective-C is object-oriented. I personally find that Objective-C is safer than C++ at the first look but it is essentially still C which inherits all the unsafe features and properties of C.

On the other hand, Cocoa is really powerful and flexible to develop GUI application on Mac OS X. The only drawback is that there is no Ada binding for Cocoa. And I still very much prefer Ada than C and any C-derived languages.

Right at this moment, I am still keeping my option open as Cocoa is quite nice to use in developing GUI applications for Mac OS X.

A quick search on Google and I find a project on Google Code. The project seems not taking to any height. The project can be found here.
