Unit testing Cocoa user interfaces: Cocoa Bindings

That covers the traditional mechanism by which user interfaces have typically been constructed in Cocoa since the NeXTstep days. However, with the release of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther we’ve had a newer interface technology available — Cocoa bindings — […]

Easily speed up your Xcode builds

A lot of developers don’t heavily modify the projects they instantiate from Xcode’s templates. This is a shame, because not only is it a great way to learn Xcode in depth, it’s also a great way to ensure your projects build as fast as possible! To that end, then, here are two simple tips that […]
