An official Apple hand-holding tutorial to building a Carbon app in Project Builder.

Very nicely done.

thanks for the post, i've been looking all over the apple site for whatever info i can find on PB, i love it, even though i haven't even used it yet, i love the concepts! anyway, where'd you find this, i can't even find it on the site, i thought i looked through all the pdf's but i never ever found this one, do you have any more? tz3gm

Hmmm... Why this? I though Apple was trying its hardest to steer new developers in the way of Cocoa. This can't really be for old developers to facilitate their porting, it's too step-by-step-by-step.

Anyone think of an explanation?

Could be to lead classic Mac developers to PB and IB through familiar territory - code styles they know and love?

Maybe Apple figures (rightly) there are a great number of Mac programmers not ready to take the Cocoa plunge, but who they would still like to get into ProjectBuilder, and thus building Mach-O CarbonEvent based apps with Apple tools.


Me, I'd be happy at this point for a CarbonEvent'ized PowerPlant so I can get some decent performance under Mac OS X. (And a bit more Carbonization proper - LStaticText, Prefs menu, Quit item... sheesh!)

I'm hoping Metrowerks isn't waiting for GM to post one, but I sort of think they will.

Fewer apps for day one...

There's nothing wrong with using Carbon as an API for new applications (e.g. the Finder, Maya). This might be especially useful if you want to maintain compatibility with OS9, although Project Builder doesn't support building of CFM executables...
