Thanks for putting it together. I've been curious about modern macos development for a while, but haven't found many good resources on what that entails. In the past, I used BigNerdRanch's Cocoa book to put together a small UI that accessed an external service in ObjC, but that book hasn't received updates in a hell of a long time.
- pcr910303 5y agoI also started studying Cocoa with Big Nerd Ranch’s book. Unfortunately, I found that resources on Cocoa are very lacking, you have to search all day to get some trivial thing to do. The best resources you have would be WWDC videos and transcripts[0]. If the subject you’re looking for is older than a few years, the documentation archive[1] might have detailed, good documentation with concepts and sample code. Some more obscure features will require you search all day, find a few blog posts from ~10 years ago, and munge them enough to make something workable. The best resource of all was the help of more experienced Cocoa devs – the AppKit Abusers Slack [2] was very helpful and pointed out problems when I had problems. Very grateful for them.
