I have started a script to extract up to date API reference documentation from Cappuccino.

The documents are located here and are updated nightly.

Specifically the master branch of the Cappuccino repository at Github is pulled and the script parses this.

Click on Parent names to navigate to the reference for that class, and click on Class name and Method names to jump to the point in the source where the definision occurs.

The main motivation for this is the persistant problem with the current doxygen system which seems to miss methods in the source and the fact that I don’t believe the doxygen docs in the source are very useful compared to simply using the Cocoa docs.

The future

The main features I wish to build in next is support for Tags on the Cappuccino repository so that ref docs for different Cappuccino versions can be easily created. A mechanism to generate API diffs (whats new and whats been removed) for each Tag.

I also feel it would be useful to have the methods link to the appropriate Cocoa reference docs if this is easily done.

And of course anything else I or you can think of!

Google has announced some free open source webfonts. They currently provide only a small library of Fonts but even these can add an extra dimension to your Cappuccino app.

Simply add the necessary link tags to your header in index.html and index-debug.html to add the desired font, e.g.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
    href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster">

Now use CPFont fontWithName:size: and you are away! E.g.

[label setFont:[CPFont fontWithName:'Lobster' size:28]];

Enjoy!

Cappucino Tutorial screencast: “CollectionViews and their Items in Interface Builder”.

This tutorial shows you how to use Interface Builder to create a collection view and its item views for a Cappuccino project.

The video has been sped up to reduce its size and run time, so make use of the pause to get things down.

This process is how I do it, however if you know of a better way or some different steps please contact me on Twitter @stevegeek

Hope this is useful!
