Cocoa and Cocoa Touch Development Comparison: A Guide to Their Similarities and Differences
- 1. Between Cocoa and Cocoa Touch: A Comparative Intro lukhnos Lithoglyph Inc. 2009-01-22
- 2. Topics Covered •3 Essential Facts • History • What’s in Common • What’s Different • Migration Paths
- 4. • Cocoa and Objective-C go together • You need to know Foundation (NS.+) classes • App Store on iPhone is the disruptive technology
- 5. History
- 6. NEXTSTEP 1989-1995 Mach, Objective-C The “NS-” prefix
- 7. Mac OS X 1999-present BSD userland Quartz Carbon Cocoa
- 8. iPhone OS 2007 OS X under hood Desktop-grade services
- 10. • Main Development Language • OS and Framework • Design • Tools
- 11. Main Developement Language • Objective-C • Child of Smalltalk, sibling of Ruby • “C with OO” • Also, Objective-C++
- 12. OS and Framework • Mac OS X essentials • BSD userland • CoreFoundation • Quartz • Foundation • Core.+ system components
- 13. CoreFoundation • C, refcount-based data type and system service library • CFTypeRef family: array, dictionary, date, number, string... • Runloop management, i18n, etc. • CFNetwork stack • Quartz and other Core.+ services share the same model
- 14. Foundation • The basis of Cocoa (hence “Foundation”) • All beginning with “NS” prefix (for historical reasons) • Non-nil containers: NSArray, NSDictionary, NSSet etc. • NSRunLoop, NSThread, etc., high-level system services • NSUserDefaults, NSNotificationCenter, app-support infrastructure
- 15. Design • Bundle • Internationalization • Design patterns • delegate • notification • target/action model
- 16. Tools • gcc • Xcode • Interface Builder • Instrument
- 18. • Device Characteristics • System Limitations • SDK Differences • Development Limitations
- 19. Device Characteristics • Screen estate • Nature of events • Usage, context, depth v.s. shallowness • Connectivity/ubiquitity
- 20. System Limitations • Memory footprint • App lifecycle • Sandbox • No inter-app communication
- 21. SDK Differences • AppKit v.s. UIKit • NSWindow/NSView v.s. unified UIView model • Better, re-inforced MVC paradigm in iPhone SDK
- 22. Development Limitations • No external framework • No automatical garbage collection (GC) ! • Sandbox • Code signing constraints • Testing and distribution constraints
- 23. Some Things We’ve Learned
- 24. • Think in Objective-C 2.0 • Different platform for different use • Maximize shared code base, sweat on platform details
- 25. Think in Objective-C 2.0 • @property saves your poor fingers • Fast enumeration also rocks • Formal and optional protocol can lead to better design • Also, in Cocoa, performSelector:onThread: etc. makes life easier
- 26. Different Platform and Use • “Your iPhone is not a Mac Pro” • Think in bigger picture: Mobile-Web-Desktop integration
- 27. Shared Code Base? • Cross-platform way of thinking helpful • Thinkin 32/64-bit neutral code, Endian-agnostic, encoding- agnostic, etc.
- 28. In Essence • Objective-C is a must • Know the shared libraries: Foundation, CoreFoundation • Sweat the minor differences and details
