70's futuristic technology

Programming focused drivel

Saturday, August 28, 2004

I am extremly impressed with my new PowerBook as a development environment. I started using Interface Builder to prototype a GUI which would eventually be built in Swing and Java. I started poking around for Cocoa documentation... and I found file:///Developer/Documentation/ the Mac OS X Developer Documentation. Wow. I haven't read much, and the docs are pretty high level, but I think it is the kind of docs that I need, just to kick me off into the right direction. I started with the Human Interface guide lines last night. Basic Good Stuff.

It would be fantastic if someone would consolidate the Linux Newbie Documentation into a similar, pleasing package that ships with the OS. man pages are great, once you grok a lot of unix, but getting from newbie to competent is really hard without working around unix gurus. Overview documentation is a great substitute.
