General scottstevenson 2006-11-29T06:00:00-05:00 http://cocoadevcentral.com/d/intro_to_quartz/ Quartz is at the center of all graphics in Cocoa. It provides basic graphics data structures and drawing routines, as well Mac OS X's window server. This beginner-level tutorial introduces basic Cocoa graphics concepts: rectangles, points, colors, and coordinate systems. General scottstevenson 2006-11-03T06:00:00-05:00 http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000081.php If you've been holding off on learning Objective-C because you didn't like the idea of reading a whole book about C first, this tutorial is the solution. If you know what a variable is and know what function is, we can quickly get you up to speed on the subset of ANSI C that you need for use in Cocoa. (This article has been redesigned and rewritten for easier reading.) General scottstevenson 2006-10-19T06:00:00-05:00 http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000088.php Writing a screen saver module is surprisingly simple using Mac OS X's screen saver framework. The ScreenSaverView class provides us with an interface for animating the screen saver, drawing the preview view in the System Preferences pane, and displaying a configuration sheet. General brianchristensen 2006-10-01T06:00:00-05:00 http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000089.php In part I of this article we learned how to create a screen saver module, how to do some simple animations with NSBezierPath, and how to set up a configure sheet. Although interesting effects can certainly be achieved using NSBezierPath, more complex animations are usually done through OpenGL.

Part one covers basics for classes, variables and methods. Bare Basics scottstevenson 2004-11-01T06:00:00-05:00 http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000080.php The Cocoa Bindings system is a toolset available in Panther which allows you to define relationships between user interface and data objects. This means a lot less code, and a lot more functionality "for free." This tutorial walks you through the conversion of a standard application into a bindings application. Regular scottstevenson 2004-04-30T21:00:00-05:00 http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000076.php The Cocoa development environment encourages the "Model-View-Controller" design pattern. This article demonstrates how Perl can serve as a resource for the "Model" components of Cocoa applications. The PerlObjCBridge makes it fairly easy to provide an Aqua interface to a Perl utility, or to add Perl's power to Objective-C in the "Model."
