It Just Might Be True!

I'm studying grant writing and have been picking up all these grant writing books. By far, this was the easiest for me to delve into. I thought that odd as I expected the Idiot's and Dummy's guides to be easier and quicker, but the narrative in this book is a pleasant read and the grant writing process just makes so much sense the way the authors present the information. Good job!

Scripting with RubyOSA
MacZealots: “RubyOSA is a bridge from the Ruby language to the Apple Event Manager. The Apple Event Manger allows applications to send and receive messages, or Apple events as they are called, to and from applications that support scripting.”

In other words, you can use Ruby instead of AppleScript. Cool.

Side note: I haven’t looked to see if it’s an actual OSA component or not. It probably doesn’t have to be—because who cares if it compiles and runs in Script Editor or not. But, for anyone interested in OSA components, years ago I posted OSAShell, a basic OSA component demo.

The Missing Cocoa Docs
Brock Brandenberg: “The Missing Cocoa Docs are intended to help you implement certain basic functionality and to teach you how to implement some of the more unique technologies like OS X’s superb glyph and type handling. For example, they won’t teach using NSViews because there are plenty of tutorials on NSViews and drawRect: methods, but there is little on NSLayoutManagers and accessing font outlines, a technique that is needed for more sophisticated graphics apps.”

Building an Extensible Form Validator Class
Developer Shed: “I’ll be attempting to build a reusable library of functions for form input validation, in an attempt to save myself (and, hopefully, you) some time the next time an application needs to have its input checked for errors. The end result of this experiment will be a PHP class that can be easily included in your scripts, and that exposes basic object methods for data validation.”
