In this part . . .

After you have the tools you need to develop Mac apps, it’s time to explore more thoroughly the pieces of a Macintosh application. The beginning of this part expands your understanding of Interface Builder and the user interface components of a Macintosh app: buttons, menus, checkboxes, etc. Moving forward, you’ll discover how to enhance that knowledge with a greater understanding of Macintosh app views and the controllers that manage them. In the last chapter of this part you’ll see how you can create your own custom views, so you can display your app’s information in your own fashion. You can then give your Mac app a definitive user experience that no other app has.
