In a new Mac programming article, ” Strings in Cocoa: Part 1,” O’Reilly Network’s Cocoa columnist Mike Beam takes a look at the two classes that make up the majority of Cocoa’s string-handling ability, and includes a peek at various ways to create strings.
Cocoa is a collection of advanced, object-oriented APIs (application programming interfaces) for developing applications written in Java and Objective-C. It’s based on two object-oriented frameworks: Foundation and the Apple Kit.
Mike Beam is a senior at the University of Texas at Austin studying physics and astronomy. He works in a physics lab on campus heading up one of the research projects, which has required the creation of a software-based control that was developed in C and LabVIEW on Linux. Beam’s programming knowledge also includes Perl, Java and Cocoa/Objective-C.
