I’m on the Mac Developer Network!

I recently did a post on NSViewController with Cathy Shive, and I realised today that the post was link to on the MacDevNet (Thanks Scotty!). I’m actually feeling like a developer for once.

Welcome all, nice to see you. Sit down, have a cup of coffee (espresso is served here), and I’ll write some more in a bit.

Using NSTreeController

A common UI concept in Mac development is that of the source list, which everybody knows from iTunes, iPhoto, etc. To do this, NSTreeController can come in particular handy, although it can come with a bit of a headache as the API is somewhat lacking and a proper model is essential to making this easy to use.  I’m going to go over the solution that’s worked for me.
