Examples of Cocoa/Objective-C and Distributed Objects?

Question

I am learning Cocoa and Objective-C (well, and C) to make a few Mac apps I've had floating around. I need to use Distributed Objects, but am having trouble finding simple, concise examples. Does anybody know of any?

Answer 1

I maintain the comp.lang.objective-c FAQ, and there's an example in there: How can I forward messages between remote objects? It's very short but should give you the basic idea, on which you can then hang the Apple and GNUstep docs to which it links.

Answer 2

It's a fairly old article but this is probably a good starting point for distributed objects. I personally found it easier to start with the older tutorials and work my way up to the more recent ones which use new technologies such as Core Data.

Answer 3

A google search came up with plenty of hits. The Apple docs are also good. Late Night Cocoa also has an episode on it.

Answer 4

I discovered this project at SourceForge which is a fairly large Cocoa project. It uses bonjour and distributed objects, and other then that I've found it to be a good resource and example. Just thought I'd put that out there in case anybody comes across this question.
