Carbon is an API, Application Programming Interface for C Based Development it also has in part the older APIs of OS 9 to help bring that development over to OS X. It has since become the C based development for OS X.

  • There are many other technologies in OS X that are C based such as the core services, Quartz and OpenGL, in fact the only 2D/3D rendering technology i can think of that uses Objective-C is Core Animation.

    C is still widely used in the layers of OS X, however Cocoa is the preferred API now for developing on OS X, and i think it should be. It's object orientated paradigm is indeed a lot more powerful and efficient for developing large applications.

  • I like your laid back commentary style - very enjoyable, makes me feel like I am a guest in your house! :-). Thanks!!

  • I would love to learn Programming but right now High School and basketball are eating my time away.

  • carbon contains framework for OS9 but its not in itself, it is the procedural programming and access to BSD layers directly. Cocoa is OOP and has its own framework.

  • That tells you that carbon was thought to use the C framework from OS 9, since you can use objective C in carbon anyway.

    The difference between carbon and cocoa is that they use different frameworks, right? Carbon uses a now obsolete framework. And you also can program in C in Cocoa... so, I understand why they're trying to deprecate carbon.

  • heh, I can see you have some HD 2O1 Senn's.

    I got them as temporary since my eh150's broke.

    But I hope to get either HD 448 or 595's.
