status and prospects of HotCocoa?
I'm curious about the status of HotCocoa. Although it seems like a very cool piece of technology, the activity level and documentation status seem pretty minimal. For example: * http://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/HotCocoaStatus shows about thirty "partial" mappings; the rest are "unknown". * http://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/HotCocoaTutorial just says "TODO". * "MacRuby: The Definitive Guide" doesn't mention HotCocoa in the Table of Contents. If some folks here are using HotCocoa, I'd love to see some examples, howtos, etc! -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, system design
These posts are a bit old now but: Lots of examples linked to in this: * http://stufftohelpyouout.blogspot.com/2010/03/hotcocoamacruby-links.html Some lame stuff I did in a few days: * http://stufftohelpyouout.blogspot.com/2010/02/hotcocoa-app-to-track-time-on-... * http://stufftohelpyouout.blogspot.com/2010/02/create-custom-icon-of-your-hot... * http://stufftohelpyouout.blogspot.com/2010/02/create-macruby-hotcocoa-app.ht... This helped me get started in addition to the tutorial: * http://isaac.kearse.co.nz/2010/02/01/packaging-hotcocoa/ (note: Isaac provided a patch to MacRuby to help with the file size thing) The current story I think is that Rich Kilmer: http://wiki.github.com/richkilmer/hotcocoa/ got pulled into other things and didn't have much time to keep it going, so others have forked it I think: http://github.com/richkilmer/hotcocoa/network Dan Sinclair had the most recent work on his branch of it but that was last updated March 23, 2010: http://github.com/dj2/hotcocoa I'm hoping Rich, Dan, and everyone else that is interested will continue work on it. It was pretty cool! Gary On 6/10/10 1:48 PM, Rich Morin wrote:

I've got a few tutorials and github apps that I've written with HotCocoa. I kinda stopped poking at it as I wasn't sure what the future held and decided to switch to straight up MacRuby/Cocoa for my last app. Tutorials * http://everburning.com/news/heating-up-with-hotcocoa-part-i/ * http://everburning.com/news/heating-up-with-hotcocoa-part-ii/ * http://everburning.com/news/heating-up-with-hotcocoa-part-iii/ * http://everburning.com/news/heating-up-with-hotcocoa-on-github/ * http://everburning.com/news/download-and-xml-parsing-with-hotcocoa/ * http://everburning.com/news/toolbars-with-hotcocoa/ * http://everburning.com/news/hotcocoa-and-core-data/ Github * http://github.com/dj2/SilverLining (Amazon EC2 Instance Browser) * http://github.com/dj2/Rife (Start of a news reader) * http://github.com/dj2/Postie (The app from the heating up tutorials) dan On 2010-06-10, at 2:05 PM, Gary Weaver wrote:

I folded some information from Dan and Gary into a wiki page: https://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/HotCocoaResources and tweaked the main page a bit: https://www.macruby.org/trac/wiki/HotCocoa Contributions and corrections are solicited... -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, system design
