Hahaha... I don't mind being called 'JR', funny, I do a wicked impersonation of him as well! (my fiance's family watches Dallas DVDs every so often...)

From what I can tell (from the version number) RubyCocoa is still in the very early stages. v0.11.1 I believe... Since Apple seems to be dropping support for the Cocoa Java bridge, I'm interested to see what will develop with other dynamic OO scripting languages.


I will also check out those names and references you mentioned, thanks again!

author...

Justin,

No. Haven't tried RubyCocoa yet.  I think most XCODE
developers
are using Objective-C with Cocoa.

Do you remember the hit show, "Dallas"?

Mind if I call you 'JR':-)

For an Objective-C reference book by an established
author:


Kochan and Wood are a couple of C language rock
stars
from
the 80s and 90s, kinda like Kernighan and Ritchie
were
in the 70s
and 80s.

Out on the West Coast, JR, Cal State Fullerton in
the
early nineties used
Kochan's classic, "Topics and C Programming" to
teach
packed out
sections in night school...mostly gray-haired
defense
contractors who
were looking to prolong their programming careers by
a
few years by
learning "C".

Kochan has many popular titles, because of a simple
style of prose.

Last I heard, he was running an exercise physiology
consulting business.

You'll find you can download coding examples on
Objective-C from his website, and they run readily
in
Apple's XCODE.

Regards,
Greg in KC.

Thanks so much! Funny, because here at my work, a
small Ruby/Rails  
shop outside of Philadelphia, we created an
internally used Flat File  
gem. Have you worked with RubyCocoa at all?

One other quick question, where on Apple's Dev
site
(or any other  
site, book) is there a good reference for
Objective-C classes/objects/ 
namespaces?

Thanks,
:: Justin Reagor
