RubyObjC

January 02, 2007 — rubyobjc

At last year’s RubyConf, I showed a few people an early version of an all-new Ruby/Objective-C bridge that I was writing. I had started it in late August. It was partly a response to a few problems I was having with RubyCocoa, partly to try out improvements in the Objective-C runtime interface, partly to learn more about Objective-C and Ruby, and partly because I just wanted to do some things differently. I’ve decided to put it online and call it RubyObjC.

RubyObjC: now open source

July 19, 2007 — rubyobjc

RubyObjC is now an open source project released under the terms of the Ruby license.

The source code is on rubyforge; you can get it by checking it out of the rubyforge subversion archives.

Documentation and other details are online at rubyobjc.com.

There are also several interesting examples, including a Cocoa bindings example, a couple of small games, and a screensaver.

Questions and contributions are welcome.

If it’s useful to you, I’d like to hear from you.

RubyObjC at C4[1]

July 19, 2007 — rubyobjc, events, speaking

I’ll be giving a presentation on RubyObjC at Jonathan Rentzsch’s C4 [1] conference. The conference is a weekend workshop in Chicago on August 10-12.

The idea behind my invitation was to get a behind the scenes look at what it takes to bridge a scripting language to Objective-C. If you’re there, I’ll give you that in painful detail (ok, I’ll try not to make it too painful) and then I’ll spice up the story with a surprise conclusion.
