This part of the book shows you how to create Mac OS X applications. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of functionality documents, windows, and the like. Many of these chapters refer to a simple Diary application that is described in the first chapter of this part. Sections of its source code appear with annotations in the appropriate chapters. You can download the application (and the source code) from the author s Web site http://www.philmontmill.com. Select the Mac OS X area and then follow the link to Mac OS X Developer s Guide.

For a complete reference to all of the classes in the Mac OS X frameworks, refer to the documentation on the developer CD-ROM and on Apple s Web site. The focus of this part of the book is on showing you the sorts of things you can do and then pointing you in the direction of additional information. You should have read Part I, and you should be familiar with the programming concepts described there. If you need additional assistance, consult the Apple documentation.
