Comment on Cappuccino (YC Winter 08) Brings Cocoa-Like Programming To The Webparent

Comments

In Cocoa you use Interface Builder to "draw" the UI. Does Cappuccino have its own IB equivalent?

BTW, do desktop GUI apps have non-programmer designers?

Well, not non-programmers, but programmers who know the particular layout libraries of the platform better than the programmers writing the data access layer, for example. I'm not saying this is universally true, but when I worked for a larger team focuses on a single product, that's pretty much how it worked.

I was under the impression that part of the point of copying cocoa was that you can use the Cocoa IB to make Cappuccino UIs, also. I would be cool, but I might be wrong.

We've got a couple things we're working on to address this. There's already some hints in the public repository... (look for stuff about "NIB"s)
