The Core Application Architecture
When a user launches a Cocoa application, a network of objects is put into place. This runtime network consists of Application Kit objects of different types, each performing a specific role. These objects are related to each other in various ways defined by ownership, dependency, and cooperation. This chapter looks at this application architecture and examines the roles played by the core objects, their primary attributes, and the relationships they have with each other.
