Beginning Mac OS X Programming

Every Mac OS X system comes with all the essentials required for programming: free development tools, resources, and utilities. However, finding the place to begin may be challenging, especially if you have no prior development knowledge. This comprehensive guide offers you an ideal starting point to writing programs on Mac OS X, with coverage of the latest release – 1.4 “Tiger.”

With its hands-on approach, the book examines a particular element and then presents step-by-step instructions that walk you through how to use that element when programming. You’ll quickly learn how to efficiently start writing programs on Mac OS X using languages such as C, Objective-C(r), and AppleScript(r), technologies such as Carbon(r) and Cocoa(r), and other Unix tools. In addition, you’ll discover techniques for incorporating the languages in order to create seamless applications. All the while, you can follow along on your own system so that you’ll be prepared to apply your new Mac OS X skills to real-world projects.

What you will learn from this book

* The major role the new Xcode plays in streamlining Mac OS X development
* The process for designing a graphical user interface on Mac OS X that conforms to Apple’s guidelines
* How to write programs in the C and Objective-C programming languages
* The various scripting languages available on the Mac OS X system and what tasks each one is best suited to perform
