Tx, great tutorial.

Another good tip that is the ability to see all the keyboard shortcuts in the Preferences -> General Tab -> Key Bindings

Especially fn F5 completes the list for code complete.

Also, Apple Shift D opens up header files

Thanks Nando! Also, good catch on the test. I haven’t upgraded to Xcode 4 yet because I still have my personal laptop on 10.5, but if I upgrade it I’ll consider redoing the post.

Great info, thanks! It would be great if you update it to the new version 4.

Minor stuff, I think your assertion will never fail:

STAssertEquals(9, 9, @”Expected 9, got %d”, result);

should be:

STAssertEquals(9, result, @”Expected 9, got %d”, result);

thanks

Ah, that is a copy/paste typo. I’ll fix it. Thanks!

Just an FYI, you’ve implemented the CalculatorTest class inside the Calculator implementation file. While this is technically legal, it’s good coding practice to separate your classes into different files. Or it could just be a typo.

Well the case is just that I want to learn. In my experience, if you just start clicking around using a GUI tool it is hard to get a thorough understanding of the system. If you just know the tool your are limited by what the tool can do.
But of course, using a drawing tool is the way to go when you build a GUI.

Now that’s something I haven’t looked for yet. To be honest, I think Interface Builder offers a nice solution to building GUIs; I don’t miss scripting their construction at all (thinking back to my Java Swing days). As far as I’m concerned, being able to lay out a GUI with a drawing tool or a tag-based syntax (such as the way that Adobe Flex does it) is the way to go.

Out of interest, what is your use case for not using Interface Builder? If you find anything useful, please post it back to this thread!
