If you haven’t already, read the Key-Value Coding and Key-Value Observing guides. Make sure all of your model classes are compliant with both. Then read the Cocoa Bindings Programming Topics guide, which has links to all the other docs so you can start there if you prefer. Read through all the linked supported docs as well. That will be enough for most implementations. If or when you get into issues not addressed in those documents you will find most answers in the archives. Cocoa bindings have been around for a really long time and have changed very little since their inception so any (good) advice on the subject will still be relevant regardless of how old. And what is not addressed in the archives can be addressed here but please be specific and reference all of the involved objects, binding names and key paths. Oh, and avoid storyboards at this stage as (IMHO) they are unintuitive and flout all other MVC documentation. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
