Bringing UIKit from iOS to Mac OS X

AppKit is a very well designed framework, but it was designed several decades ago when resources were scarce and some of its design decisions show this. Recently there have been efforts to bring elements from iOS's UIKit to Mac OS X through frameworks like Chamelion and Twui. We will cover these 2 frameworks and show how you can bridge your UIKit code to Mac OS X.

INTRODUCTION

Yes, Virginia, there are people coding with Cocoa in Iowa. More than you would expect, actually...

The Des Moines, Iowa CocoaHeads group is a monthly meeting for developers of all skill levels to discuss Cocoa and Cocoa-related topics, including Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch development. There are no fees to attend and anyone who's interested in developing software for Mac OS X and iOS is welcome.

We meet on the second Thursday of each month (unless otherwise scheduled) at one of the Urbandale Public Library Meeting Rooms.
