Creating Desktop Applications with Ruby on Mac
summary
Shows how to build a native Mac app using the RubyCocoa bridge, Xcode and Interface Builder to wire KVC/KVO bindings and a simple controller. Demonstrates a small app “Friend Faker” that uses the Faker gem to generate N names, creates ABPerson records via AddressBook.framework, adds them to the shared address book and saves once — the demo runs. Notes runtime crossing costs, limited Cocoa debugging, ~25 RubyCocoa projects on GitHub and an alternative implementation, MacRuby.
