cocoa-sharp-dev

Cocoa Sharp is aimed at .NET/Mono developers that want to allow their users to have a native Mac OS X application experience. Cocoa Sharp allows developers to call Cocoa AP Is in native C# code using dot notation. Developing Cocoa# applications will be just like developing Mono application except that you are allowed to call Cocoa and Foundation APIs.

VideoTutorial

Video tutorial showing a developer making their first CocoaSharp application

1.0 Purpose

The objective of this page is for the reader to create an CocoaSharp Xcode project that allow the user to:

Type a string in a TextField
Click a 'Count' Button
The application display the number of characters in the user-specified string

2.0 Introduction

The below video tutorial shows a developer making their first CocoaSharp application. Basic concepts are demostrated which include using the Xcode project template, editing a .nib file, control bindings, etc. A word to the C# WinForm developers. The Cocoa window library IS NOT WinForms. Right, wrong or indifferent, it is what it is. I personally am an WinForm developer as well and found it difficult at first to get use to "hard" separation from the GUI controls and the source code. However, after a short time I started to get use it.

This little project was inspired from one of the code exercises from "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" by Aaron Hillegass

3.0 System Requirements

Mono 1.2 or later
CocoaSharp 0.9 or later (I'd recommend getting the latest source and compiling)
