WebKit+CSS is almost there for business reports, IMHO and I've had some success in going this route. The main stumbling block I've encountered is that WebKit (as far as I can tell) still lacks support for a lot of the CSS3 paged media functionality, so I end up doing PITA workarounds for st

I'm working on a Cocoa-based ERP that uses PostgeSQL on the backend. Invoicing is among the things it does. Yes, it is possible to do write such a thing, though you will have to work out a preferred way to (un)persist your data objects to/from the database (or use someone else's framework t

The best way to learn SQLite is to learn SQLite and ignore Core Data completely. While Core Data technically uses SQLite, it does undocumented voodoo with SQLite, which is subject to change with any Apple whim at any particular moment (except on thursdays). For all intents and purposes, Cor

What I found so useful about Cocoa-Java was that it was the perfect tool for easily writing Cocoa Apps that made heavy use of technologies that Apple was too short-sighted to add, largely because Java came out- of-the-box with so many useful classes for basic stuff like regular expressions.

The NSTableView is based on the MVC paradigm which has existed for quite some time. A method you implement gets called to return the value for each cell (more or less). So if you have a table with forty cells, then at least 40 times the method will get called. After I started looking at it
