What are system frameworks, and why should you care? 2. Brief overview of the frameworks, classes, and APIs that will be demonstrated. 3. Demo 1: PyObjC 4. Demo 2: Objective-C 5. Wrap up and questions. 4 What’s a System Framework? …and why should you care? (OS X) system frameworks provide interfaces you need to write software for the Mac. Many of these are useful for Mac admins creating: • scripts • GUI applications • command-line tools Learning about system frameworks will teach you more about OS X, which will probably make you a better admin. 5 Frameworks, Classes, and APIs oh my! Cocoa CoreFoundation • Foundation • CFPreferences - NSFileManager CoreGraphics - NSTask • Quartz - NSURLSession - NSUserDefaults • AppKit - NSApplication 6 CoreFoundation CoreFoundation is a C framework that knows about Objective-C objects. Some parts of CoreFoundation are written in Objective-C. • Other parts are written in C. CoreFoundation uses the CF class prefix, and it provides CFString, CFDictionary, CFPreferences, and the like. Some Objective-C objects are really CF types behind the scenes.

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment
    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.

  • Building an Openstep Application by Michael Rutman, Independent Consultant
    Building an OpenStep Application by Michael Rutman, independent consultant Is it really as easy to program in OpenStep OpenStep and NEXTSTEP In 1985, Steve Jobs left Apple and formed NeXT. He found the latest technologies and brought together a team of developers to turn the newest theories into realities. To verify the new technologies, during development Steve would often stop development and have the entire team use the system they were creating. Several existing apps were created during these day or week long kitchens. More importantly, each developer knew how the framework would be used. If developers had a hard time using an object during a kitchen, they knew they had to rework that object. The system they created was called NEXTSTEP. NEXTSTEP has several layers, and each layer was state of the art in 1985. In the 12 years since Steve picked these technologies, the state of the art may have moved, but not advanced. The underlying OS is a Mach mini-kernel running a unix emulator. For practical purposes, Mach is a flavor of BSD unix. However, the Mach mini-kernel offers programmers a rich set of functionality beyond what unix provides. Most of the functionality of Mach is wrapped into the NEXTSTEP framework, so programmers get the power and flexibility of Mach with the ease of use of NEXTSTEP. Sitting on top of Mach is Display Postscript. Postscript, the language of printers, is a nice graphics language. NeXT and Adobe optimized Postscript for displaying on the screen and produced a speedy and powerful display system. NeXT's framework hides most of the Postscript, but if a programmer wants to get into the guts, there are hooks, called pswraps, to work at the Postscript level.

  • Using the Java Bridge
    Using the Java Bridge In the worlds of Mac OS X, Yellow Box for Windows, and WebObjects programming, there are two languages in common use: Java and Objective-C. This document describes the Java bridge, a technology from Apple that makes communication between these two languages possible. The first section, ÒIntroduction,Ó gives a brief overview of the bridgeÕs capabilities. For a technical overview of the bridge, see ÒHow the Bridge WorksÓ (page 2). To learn how to expose your Objective-C code to Java, see ÒWrapping Objective-C FrameworksÓ (page 9). If you want to write Java code that references Objective-C classes, see ÒUsing Java-Wrapped Objective-C ClassesÓ (page 6). If you are writing Objective-C code that references Java classes, read ÒUsing Java from Objective-CÓ (page 5). Introduction The original OpenStep system developed by NeXT Software contained a number of object-oriented frameworks written in the Objective-C language. Most developers who used these frameworks wrote their code in Objective-C. In recent years, the number of developers writing Java code has increased dramatically. For the benefit of these programmers, Apple Computer has provided Java APIs for these frameworks: Foundation Kit, AppKit, WebObjects, and Enterprise Objects. They were made possible by using techniques described later in Introduction 1 Using the Java Bridge this document. You can use these same techniques to expose your own Objective-C frameworks to Java code. Java and Objective-C are both object-oriented languages, and they have enough similarities that communication between the two is possible. However, there are some differences between the two languages that you need to be aware of in order to use the bridge effectively.
