Atlas is like Xcode. Atlas is built with Cappuccino and Cappuccino is built using a language called Objective-J which is just a superset of JavaScript and its very cool! Just like Objective-C is a superset of C. The best thing I like about it is that it’s so much like Cocoa and Objective-C. The syntax is almost the same, NSObject would be CPObject. <\/p>\n
280 North<\/a> makes Atlas<\/a> and I signed up for their beta program from beta version 3. Once I had access I played with it but didn’t do much. Now just yesterday I got interested in it again and while reading the forums to see what people where saying I saw a tutorial that caught my interest ( http:\/\/blog.jerodsanto.net\/2009\/11\/280-atlas-introductory-screencast\/<\/a> ) and I decided to write a simple app as-well.<\/p>\n I wrote a simple calculator to calculate the tax of an item but my goal was to find out if NSNotification was being supported and well, it is being supported of course it’s not called NSNotification but called CPNotification. In Objective-J ALL classes are prefixed with CP instead of NS. Here is my source code<\/a> for the app I wrote using Atlas.<\/p>\n To learn more<\/a> about Atlas go to their site and read about it and of course try it out!<\/p>\n
