Although this little app is an UB version written in CoCoa
Cocoa
I post, since the app is based on CoreData.
Core Data
(I'm picky)
It took roughly 10 hours to
complete it - and I never used CoreData before.
Yeah, I wrote a big bug tracking app in an airport once. No code at
all for that one.
I'd be too happy, if we would see some day a DB-based RAD solution
in RB,
which mimics (parts of) CoreData some way.
I know, that I could use RB's bindings, but the last time I gave it
a try,
I probably discovered problems. Might be solved today.
Especially CoreData's handling of master-detail views is really nice.
Note, that CoCoaCash not even required a single line of code.
Well, Core Data and Cocoa Bindings and two separate things. They
don't need each other at all. Cocoa Bindings are lightyears ahead of
what REALbasic calls bindings. REALbasic's seem to have just been
hobbling along since 1.0 or whenever they came about, almost entirely
ignored. It was neat in 1996, but today they're just weak.
The master-detail view stuff is just some automated stuff on IB's
part. A rb equivalent could be made if we had IDE plugins.
Core Data is neat, but anyone (smart enough) could mimic it in RB. An
equivalent of Cocoa Bindings would have to be done by RS though. Or
someone who's crazy enough to hack the runtime like Joe Raineri. :)
Anyway, kudos. Don't use Cocoa too much, or you'll switch over like
me. :)
