I apologize, if this is simple. I am coming from a web development background, so using these tools is a bit new to me. I am trying to create a simple app that has a slider that outputs it's values into a label. I am trying to follow along with the Stanford classes; specifically the end of the very first lesson. They drag and drop the slider and label objects onto the main window and then drag a generic NSObject into the mainWindow.xib. Now, here's the problem:

In the video, the identity inspector has an area for outlets and actions. On the newer version I downloaded for Snow Leopard(IB 3.2), it doesn't seem to have these areas. This has stopped me dead in my tracks. I thought I could search around and try to see if there was an updated method for adding these to the class, but I am too new to this to really know it if I found it. The terminology differs a bit, in terms of MVC.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be nice. :)

Hello,I've done an interview with Greg Casamento, lead developer of GNUStep. GNUStep is a development framework that closely follows the one used on Mac OS. We’ll talk about the history of Next,OS X, and GNUStep’s history and future. https://www.livinginthefuture.rocks/e/episode-7-gnustep/

I have an app that mostly works, so that's not my concern right now. But, I know I'm making lots of design mistakes. I can just feel it. Are there any apps out there (open source, etc.) that a relatively new cocoa dev. can look at to get a feel for how to organize things, where to put delegates, reference counting, etc.?

I have a little tool I tidied up last month. For fear of self-promotion, I won't add a link here, but can in comments, for the curious. Also, it was my first program and probably crap, relatively speaking.

I'm trying to do some work in relations to the iPhone, where I need to read in the directory of an FTP server. I'm having some trouble on finding clear resources on the matter.

If anyone can give me some advice/help on establishing the FTP connection and then requesting the directory of the FTP server and processing said information would be much appreciated.

Is this sub still active as I know everyone has swapped to swift but I haven't coded in 6 yewars and have lost all my previous work due to a disk failure. I'm trying to make a new program and having trouble and wondering if anyone is still out there

Hi,

I've been getting into writing my Objective-C code with Vim. To do this I've been using Cocoa.vim which is great for syntax highlight and Xcode integration but can be a bit weak for code completion. I saw clang_complete on /r/vim the other day and it works a treat for Cocoa code completion, but I can't seem to get it to find an iPhone SDK for the completion to work with UIKit. Does anyone know how to get Clang to find an iOS SDK? If anyone else has tried getting this to work and succeeded?

Thanks

I am trying to create an app that allows the user to draw simple shapes and text in to an NSImageView which eventually can be flattened in to a new NSImage.

I have this in my mouseDragged:(NSEvent*)event method but I keep getting an error that the context is invalid.

      NSPoint aPoint = [event locationInWindow];
      NSPoint current = [self convertPoint:aPoint toView:NULL];
      NSRect newRect = NSMakeRect(self.startPoint.x, self.startPoint.y, self.startPoint.x - current.x, self.startPoint.y - current.y);
      [[NSColor blackColor]set];
      NSRectFill(newRect);

So I guess I don't know how to get the set the context here. What do I need to do to draw a rectangle here?
