We're talking subjective impressions here, so there's no wrong or right to it, but that's not what I'm getting from this thread. It looks to me like people are struggling to understand the frameworks in terms of platforms with which they're already familiar. I believe that if they were truly trying to understand the frameworks *as they are*, rather than as minor variations of themes also found in Java, C++, .NET, etc., they'd be having far less trouble with it. This, I believe, is where the docs fail. There is plenty of introductory material, but no real emphasis is put on the point that programmers from other platforms really, really do need that material - so those folks tend to skip it, believing that Cocoa is as similar to Java, C++, or .NET as those are to one another. In fact, it's very different, and the docs are weak on emphasizing that fact. sherm-- -- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
