	Cocoa (API) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cocoa applications are typically developed using the development tools provided by Apple, specifically Xcode (formerly Project Builder) and Interface Builder, using the Objective-C language.
		For end-users, Cocoa applications are considered to be those written using the Cocoa programming environment.
		Cocoa is derived from the NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP programming environments developed by NeXT in the late 1980s.

	A Review of Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X
		Writing Cocoa applications on the Mac is a joy born from the acquisition (/reintegration/merger) of NeXT some years ago, when Apple was shopping around for a new operating system.
		Cocoa is the evolution of the programming framework created by NeXT, and so has been in steady development (under various names) for over 15 years.
		However, though each programmer responds to different teaching techniques, it was within the first four chapter's of Aaron Hillegass's book, Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X that I finally found myself writing my own programs which were no longer but minor variations of cookbook examples.

	Cocoa Programming
		Cocoa Programming communicates the wisdom and design experience of three top-notch veteran Cocoa developers and includes technical information and insights that are not available from any other source.
		Cocoa is based on a cross-platform specification and has evolved from a cross-platform implementation.
		Cocoa is extraordinarily extensible, flexible, and dynamic in part because of Objective-C, the language used to implement it.

	Cocoa Dev Central: C Language Tutorial for Cocoa
		A C program can usually only run on the same type of computer it was compiled on.
		Pointers are tricky conceptually, but Cocoa abstracts you from the most of the those details for basic programming.
		Cocoa programs use NSLog instead of printf, but the formatting rules are almost identical.

	Project Cocoa
		Cocoa is a Macintosh application that allows kids as young as 8 years old to design multi-media applications.
		Cocoa was a project started back around 1994 under the name of KidSim by Apple.
		Although Cocoa is no longer officially sponsored by Apple, we try to keep Cocoa and programming by example alive today.

	Cocoa Projects
		Cocoa is a unique and fun program that students ages eight and above can use to create multimedia simulations, games, or puzzles, which can then be configured to work over the internet as imbedded plugins on HTML pages or as AutoPlayers, which behave like standard Macintosh applications.
		Cocoa achieves this using Programming by Demonstration, where instead of writing arcane code, you just put the system into record mode and show it what should happen in a given situation.
		However, once your programming style matures and you are trying to create more complex Worlds, programming using Cocoa becomes more of a means of manipulating the shortcomings of the programming environment to your advantage, "recording" less and rather constructing by hand the many interlocking parts of the Rules that govern the World.

	Cocoa 101: Object-Oriented Programming for the Masses - Part 1 - OSNews.com
		The second variety is far more on-topic: a programming environment for Apple Mac OS X that is the modern evolution of of the original NeXTSTEP frameworks.
		Reading up on Cocoa, I found out that it was an object-oriented framework with a clean and elegant design built using the Objective-C language, and that it had been the official development environment for the NeXTSTEP OS which Apple had purchased back in 1997.
		Most Cocoa programming guides expect you to be an expert in C or C++ programming, which I most certainly am not, so it took me much longer to wrap my head around some of the more difficult language constructs of Objective-C than it might someone else.

		My only background in programming is with Future Basic, a hybrid basic that adopts the program layout of C by replacing goto's with functions but keeps the terms of the language intact.
		Next I bought Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X by Cheeseman, once again it started off OK but since it was written by a lawyer, I soon found myself lost in the same way one might find oneself confused by a legal document.
		In general, a good step-by-step overview of Cocoa programming and Objective-C. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book as there are major flaws in Chapter 10 and as of Jan 11th 2003, the downloaded tar file (once decompressed) cannot be read or expanded.

		Cocoa programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegass [amazon.com].
		Cocoa and Objective C do provide a lot of nice features that make memory mangagement easier than in K&R C or C++, but languages like Python and Real Basic let you allocate what you need and they take care of recycling memory.
		For example if your program is to have a graphical interface like most modern desktop applications have, then you will need to write code to create the windows, buttons, menus, dialog boxes, etc. The code necessary to implement those things is quite complex, and would take years of person hours to create from scratch.

		I wrote this article, and the program for it, on my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS X 10.3.5, and as such I have based my installation instructions on these parameters.

		Cocoa programmers would say, "We are now going to set the outlets of our objects." To introduce one object to another, you will control-drag from the object that needs to know to the object it needs to know about.
		The @ symbol is not used in the C programming language.
		When the program is launched, the objects are brought back to life before the application handles any events from the user.
