If I were to write a commercial (=sold for money) app for Mac OS X (not iPhone) would it be wise to do so in Javascript with JSCocoa? I know Javascript by heart but next to nothing about Objective-C and it scares me. Any thoughts? OTOH, I can always dive into Objective-C. But still, this looks like a nice shortcut. Or is it too good to ...
I have a Cocoa application I am building which contains an NSSearchField control. I want to enable a keyboard shortcut / key equivalent so when the uses presses COMMAND-OPTION-F, the search field gets focus. However, after much searching, it is not clear to me what the best way to implement this is. There is not an option to set this fo...
How do you port a Cocoa/Mac application to Windows? I mean how would you go about it? Assume the app was written with Objective-C and Cocoa, there's nothing fancy going on, no "engine" that could be factored out, etc. Rewrite from scratch? I don't think there will be huge overlaps between the Mac and Windows codebases, right? ...

After Cmd+Option+ESQ clicking my application is quit instead of "force quit" dialog is app...
Hi! I want to build a document-based app in Cocoa but so that it can create and handle different types of documents. Think Word, Excel, Powerpoint all in one application, only much simpler. But every window will be different based on the type of document. For storage I will use CoreData. I think of adding a field that specifies the typ...

Basically at the moment, I need some examples of a program that loads an image into a view, and if the window is too small, sets up scrollbars that do the right things... Why can I not find these examples on the apple dev site? Added info: After looking at ImagekitDemo I see that eviden...
I would like to speed up my MySQL on my MacBook. It's much slower than MySQL running on our servers or on virtual machines on other laptops. All the tables I deal with are InnoDB. I run a lot of django unit tests so there are a lot of create table commands that get run. Update: I should note that I'm really comparing this to another l...
There're tons of apps/widgets for PHP function reference and even for Ruby but I'm shocked to find there is nothing available for a popular language like Python (besides the official online documentation ofcourse). Is there really not a single handy reference widget/app available for Python? I have 'Pocket Reference' book, but a dashbo...

Before you ask, yes, I have a very good reason for wanting something to run on 10.3. It's a very small in-house project that must run on a very important person's machine, which cannot be upgraded for a very good reason. =) The 10.6 DVD doesn't seem to offer an option to install the 10.3 SDK, only 10.4+. I also can't seem to find it on ...

I'm building a simple Cocoa app and I want to direct the audio output to a specific device, instead of the system selected one. I know some apps, like Skype, let you select where to send the output to. How do they do this?
