Hi All, Thanks for your feedback. I AM coming from a non-Cocoa background, and I was hoping to keep some picture of how the GUI was interacting with my code at a fairly low level.
My previous experience is with an X11+motif application that did real-time data acquisition from an A/D card, and processed and displayed that data in real time (not my app - my old boss's, but I did quite a bit of work with it). My present project is not as ambitious (at least not yet - famous last words). It will process and display the same kind of data (read from a disk file), just not in real time. But I am hoping at some point that, near real-time capability can be added, along with the possibility of porting this app to linux via the GNUstep project. The interface uses fairly generic interface elements - menus, windows, buttons and views, and all of the application code is provided by fairly low level C routines and libraries .... Thanks again folks. I'll pick up the Hillegass book and hopefully be back with more appropriate questions ;-) cheers vinai --- On Thu, 3/12/09, Sidney San Martín <s...@sidneysm.com> wrote: > Remember that Interface Builder does not generate code!
