Cocoa vs Python (Books vs libprs500) - Page 2

pwalker8 · 04-12-2008, 06:43 AM

Reduced to a generic question (native GUI verse portable GUI), my take is it really depends on your purpose and your audience. For this specific purpose, I think that the portable GUI is the way to go. If I was writing a lrf reader, i.e. an application that someone would be spending a lot of time in , then I would probably go with the native GUI.

Well I think what I'm going to do is try and work on my Python coding and contribute to libprs500. I'm not going to get very far in Cocoa development and use Python classes if I don't understand Python well enough. Then I'll take a look at what can be done with Books. By then, that project might already have enough progress on the Sony integration that I won't need to even get involved at all.

Plus, I really do enjoy using libprs500 and I would enjoy seeing some of the features I've been dreaming about implemented.

Thanks for all the feedback.
