| View PDF Download PDF |
Discovering OPENSTEP provides an introduction to OpenStep programming on Rhapsody. It guides you through the creation of three applications of increasing complexity. Along the way, it explains concepts and illustrates aspects of Objective-C, OpenStep classes, the development environment, and programming techniques. A short appendix offers a summary of object-oriented programming. |

Project Builder Guide | |
|
View HTML Download PDF |
Draft documentation on Project Builder, Apple's integrated development environment for the Yellow Box. The current version gives you a sample of what's to come and documents how to create and manage projects, find information in project files, and localize projects. Future versions of this manual will include more information, such as how to build and debug projects. |
Interface Builder Guide | |
| View HTML Download PDF |
Draft documentation on Interface Builder, Apple's graphical interface editor for the Yellow Box. The current version gives you a sample of what's to comeand describes how to create connections and subclasses. Future versions will include more information, such as how to create and manage nib files and set options for the interface elements. |
Enterprise Objects 2.2 | |
| View HTML |
A set of tools and resources that help you create applications that work with most popular relational databases--or with your own custom data store. You can design database applications that are easy to build and maintain, that can communicate with other applications, and that draw upon the standard interface features common to all Rhapsody applications. |
Mach Reference | |
| View PDF Download PDF |
This document discusses the internals of the Mach kernel, the heart of the Rhapsody operating system. It includes information about low-level thread manipulation and mach messaging. Most developers should use the facilities provided by Foundation, specifically NSThread and Distributed Objects, instead of using the APIs at this level. |
Rhapsody Runtime Architecture | |

Rhapsody Developer's Guideby:Jesse Feiler | |
| Order Printed |
The book starts with the basic architectural principles of Rhapsody--the Mach microkernel, object-oriented programming, and the elements of a modern OS (preemptive multitasking, protected memory, multithreading, and symmetric multiprocessing). Furthermore, it provides an in-depth first look at the architecture, classes, and methods of the Yellow Box development platform and provides a guide to the languages of Rhapsody (Objective-C, Java, and C++). |
