Don’t Call It a Controller Layer!
As John Chang points out, Scott Anguish and his compatriots in Apple Tech Pubs have been doing a bang-up job getting Cocoa’s once, shall we say, minimalist documentation closer to the high standards of Scott’s previous magnum opus: the enormous purple book. Among the revelations in their latest round of revisions: Cocoa’s “controller layer” (a feature introduced in Panther to help developers minimize the amount of tedious “glue code” they churn out while still maintaining a healthy MVC design) has been re-christened as…wait for it…”Cocoa Bindings!”
Whatever you call it, now that Cocoa enthusiasts like me have access to such detailed documentation on Bindings, there is no excuse for us not to finally sit down and learn how to use the new-fangled contraption!
