Aside from being a plant used to make chocolate (did you know that the cocoa tree is one of the few trees where the flowers and fruit grow directly out of the trunk and lower branches?), Cocoa is also the native [API] for [MacOSX]. Most Cocoa programs are written in [ObjectiveC], although there also exist bindings for [Java].
-Cocoa has its roots (so to speak) firmly in the [NeXTStep] operating system, and
is based on
[YellowBox
], one
of the [NeXTStep] (perhaps [Rhapsody]?) APIs
.
+The
Cocoa application environment
is designed specifically for
[MacOSX
]-only native applications. It is comprised
of a set of object-oriented frameworks that support rapid development and high productivity. The Cocoa frameworks include a full featured set of classes designed to create robust and powerful Mac OS X applications. The object-oriented design simplifies application development and debugging.
+Cocoa provides developers starting new Mac OS X-only projects
the fastest way to full-featured implementations. Applications from UNIX and other OS platforms can also be brought to Mac OS X quickly by using Cocoa to build state of the art Aqua user interfaces while retaining most existing core code
