objc_msgSend() Tour

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:21:18 GMT

Bill Bumgarner: "What follows (across this and 3 more posts, maybe more) is a rather detailed tour of objc_msgSend() as implemented in Mac OS X 10.6.2. Rather detailed in that every instruction will be explained. Even though it is relatively few instructions, there is a considerable amount of background information that is helpful to understanding the objc_msgSend() instruction stream."

Why MacRuby Matters (Present & Future) | Zen and the Art of Programming

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 16:28:23 GMT

The new experimental branch of MacRuby (0.5) uses LLVM to translate to optimized machine code. it's early days yet, but performance is already at least 3x that of Ruby 1.9.1, making it by far the fastest Ruby implementation known. All this and negligible startup time and deep integration with the Cocoa APIs ... should be a terrific way to write OS X apps!

SQLite Persistent Objects

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 23:51:14 GMT

“It lets you create Objective-C classes that know how to persist themselves into a SQLite database. Not only that, but it completely hides the implementation details from you - you do not need to create the database, create the tables, or do anything else except work with your ojbects. you simply subclass SQLitePersistentObject and create Objective-C 2.0 properties for every data element you want persisted.”

Developing Cocoa Applications Using MacRuby

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:47:52 GMT

“Ruby is a dynamic programming language that, over the last few years, has enjoyed enormous popularity, thanks in part to the Rails web framework. Now with MacRuby, you can create Mac OS X applications with Ruby while maintaining the peformance benefits of a fully fledged Cocoa application. This article will show you how to get started with MacRuby and build your first sample application.”

Streaming and playing an MP3 stream [Cocoa with Love]

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:42:55 GMT

"This week, I present a sample application that streams and plays an audio file from a URL. I'll show how the application was written by expanding upon Apple's AudioFileStreamExample, including a work-around for an Audio File Stream Services' crash bug when handling streaming MP3s."

HotCocoa Is Pretty Damn Hot

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:59:32 GMT

Andy Matuschak: "MacRuby is an implementation of Ruby 1.9 running directly on top of the Objective-C runtime and CoreFoundation ... it includes a new layer called HotCocoa. HotCocoa is a layer of mappings on top of common Cocoa classes to make them simpler and to put them in line with idiomatic Ruby."
