- 13. Demo - one-minute browser
- 14. What did I do?
- 15. What did I do? • Drew boxes in Interface Builder
- 16. What did I do? • Drew boxes in Interface Builder • Automatically created and archived View objects
- 17. What did I do? • Drew boxes in Interface Builder • Automatically created and archived View objects • Automatically un-archived and displayed by my app
- 18. What did I do? • Drew boxes in Interface Builder • Automatically created and archived View objects • Automatically un-archived and displayed by my app • MVC score: F Should really try harder
- 19. On syntax
- 20. On syntax • [anObject sendMessage: parameter];
- 21. On syntax • [anObject sendMessage: parameter]; • @property int count; • int x = anObject.count; • anObject.count = x * 2;
- 22. Demo - model the URL
- 25. MVC Score: D Principles not really applied
- 26. Delegates
- 27. Delegates • Customise an object’s behaviour by making decisions on its behalf
- 28. Delegates • Customise an object’s behaviour by making decisions on its behalf • GoF: Template Method (kindof)
- 29. Delegates • Customise an object’s behaviour by making decisions on its behalf • GoF: Template Method (kindof) • Implement a subset of delegate methods, runtime introspection avoids exceptions
- 30. Delegates • Customise an object’s behaviour by making decisions on its behalf • GoF: Template Method (kindof) • Implement a subset of delegate methods, runtime introspection avoids exceptions • We’ll use WebFrameLoadDelegate

- Who I am. What _are_ Objective-C and Cocoa? First, a walk down memory lane.
- Objective-C was really popularised by NeXT on their NeXTSTEP OS. Note that there’s never been a language standard, but Apple owns all trademarks and drives the language definition. GCC support on other platforms plays catch-up. Next: what exactly is MVC?

- So we can see how Interface Builder works, but haven’t designed an MVC app at all. FAIL. Next: see what does really count as a model.

- The only model object we really have is the URL. Let’s see how we can factor that out into an MVC design. Next: class view.
- So, we’ve separated things out, but that model object isn’t really used. The Controller is just filling it in out of a sense of duty. Next: move onto fixing the URL field, but discuss delegates first.

- Some objects implement a basic behaviour then allow another object to interpose at specific points in the process. This is called delegation in Cocoa. It’s a bit like a Template Method, except that the delegate doesn’t encapsulate the original object. ObjC messaging means you can implement a subset of the delegate methods.

- We can use a delegation point in the loading of a web page in order to get the address that the web view has really gone to. Oh, where’s the code to update the text field, though?
- If a view (say) binds to a model, then the model is actually replaced by a proxy which posts observer notifications whenever changes are requested. Next: how that works in the browser app.
