Where do you get standard developer? Is it for OSX?GUI=Graphicl User Interface. what i really need are some functions to draw lines or import picture if there are any.

yes and CUI = Character User Interface.

so you want to create a GUI program and you dont know where to start. Is that it? Or did u mean something else?

for apple's dev tools (Xcode v1.5) go to developer.apple.com. register. login. figure it out from there onwards. if ur still confused, post.

ok. I am wondering if any one knows about the function notealert()? I do not know how to use it. I am using Codewarrior still (need to get OS 10.3 before i can get Xcode) and i think it is a part of the Carbon library.

-----------------------------------

OOL? well Cocoa is a library that is written in the Objective-C programming language. It is the prefered way of programming (now-a-days) for OSX.

And yes, Objective-C does a pretty good job with object-orientation, and Cocoa is a nicer framework to work with than Carbon.

There is actually no "good" online cocoa manual. There are amazing books though. I suggest you "must" buy this book: Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegass, Addison Wesely publications.

Awesome book. Takes you right into Cocoa development for 10.3++ also give solutions for 10.2.x. Yea its different.. its more clicking than typing in 10.3.x.
