</div>as you know as was using REALbasic on a - hm, lets call it higher<br>
level - for several years.<br>
<br>
Due to some more reasons I decided in the last summer that I do<br>
something "more naturally Mac" and bought in the first step the Aaron<br>
Hillegas book, sadly this lay around several months.<br>
<br>
In November I started with Obj-C / Cocoa development and was blown<br>
away day by day. Of course speed was one experience, but ease of<br>
development, at least in the way I'm thinking (KVC, KVO, ...). So in<br>
December this app was ready to be installed on the clients machine.<br>
<br>
I then started to port my framework (Dynamic Data Objects / Dynamic<br>
Business Objects) over from RB and start to build real apps. Somehow<br>
replacing CoreData concepts with my own design and heavily based on<br>
Valentina - using ALL this nice Valentina stuff like Properties, many<br>
ObjPtr fields, triggers, ... and I'm really, really happy again, Cocoa<br>
is the tool I dreamed several years of, so I can say go for it!<br>
<br>
<br>
Of course, you're right, the docs are not the best ones and several<br>
things are missing, BUT you should be able to use e.g. the RB<br>
reference pdf and simply "translate" it o Cocoa. Furthermore you'll<br>
get the very well documented header files and these are worth a look,<br>
too. So it shoud not be so hard to starte with Valentina-Cocoa<br>
development for an experienced RB-Valentina-developer.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Feel free to contact me of-list and I'm going to send you some code<br>
from my new apps and give you some further tips and hints what to do<br>
and what NOT to do.<br>
<br>
<br>
regards,<br>
