MacOSX-dev -- Developing applications for Mac OS X
About MacOSX-dev	English (USA)
This list is provided so that developers can help each other write software for Mac OS X. Mac OS X has a wealth of APIs, and they're not at all exclusive: a single application may use OpenGL for drawing, Cocoa for input, BSD for networking, and Carbon or CoreAudio for sound. Questions about all of these are welcome on this list, along with any other Mac OS X APIs like IOKit, CoreFoundation, CoreGraphics, SecurityCore (the updated Keychain API), and Java (and that's by no means an exhaustive list). Questions about the development tools provided with Mac OS X such as ProjectBuilder and cvs are also quite welcome. As long as your question is specific to Mac OS X development, you're in the right place. Please do avoid asking questions that aren't specific to Mac OS X. There are better forums to ask questions about developing a generic BSD tool, or a generic Java applet. Do remember that this is the Mac OS X development list. This is not a forum for arbitrary issues related to Mac OS X, but for concrete development questions and answers. For technical questions and discussions about Mac OS X system administration, see the MacOSX-admin mailing list. For general discussions of Apple's Mac OS X operating system, see the MacOSX-talk list. For discussions of Apple's WebObjects, see the WebObjects list. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the MacOSX-dev Archives.
