Hi guys,
Im fairly new to Mac OS X and development on the platform. i have been learning Cocoa from (learning cocoa and objective c 2nd edition, Aaron Hillegass book, and the Building Cocoa applications).
My prior experience is mainly in C, C++ and Java.
Still i gotta admit i found objective c quite challenging at first.
Anyway i digress!
What I want to know is how difficult you guys find it to develop Rendezvous enabled apps. Normally for developing networked apps i use TCP/IP or UDP, ocassionally for some stuff id use http. ....
Practically all my distributed apps have been primarily developed in Java.
Essentially what I want to know is whether coding a rendezvous app in Cocoa is any more difficult than importing Rendezvous header files into your source code and then making one or two API calls?? similar to distributed app development in java.
Then what I would like to know, is how you find rendezvous development with Java. The point of these questions is that i would like to develop a small cross platform filesharing app for small home network. I had planned on writing the Mac service in Cocoa and the windows service in Java. However i was warned a while back that Java support for Rendezvous is sorely lacking....
Any advice here is much appreciated.
