New Apple documentation
I don't ordinarily write about changes to Apple's documentation, since you can get that info straight from ADC RSS, but today's round of changes is unusually significant.
Apple replaced several of the documents relating to Cocoa with new ones, and added some things to the new ones as well. the full run-down:
Was | Now |
---|---|
|
Cocoa Drawing Guide |
|
Cocoa Fundamentals Guide Two new chapters have been added: "The Core Application Architecture" and "Other Cocoa Architectures". In addition, the discussion of the Model-View-Controller design pattern in "Cocoa Design Patterns" has been greatly expanded. — revision history |
|
Cocoa Scripting Guide |
Document-Based Applications | Document-Based Applications Overview New articles added are "Message Flow in the Document Architecture", "Creating Multiple-Document-Type Applications", "Autosaving in the Document Architecture", and "Error Handling in the Document Architecture". — revision history |

I think the new set of documents may be much more suitable for passing to people who are learning for the first time. I'll show The_Tick, who's learning Cocoa, and see what he thinks.
while I'm at it, I'll point out that they clarified the docs on CGImageSourceUpdateData:
Each time you call the function
CGImageSourceUpdateData
, thedata
parameter must contain all of the image file data accumulated so far.
so you should probably use a CFMutableData (or its NS equivalent) when using this function.
