Valentina for Cocoa 2.4 b1 Available

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

Valentina for Cocoa is ready for public beta testing. Its downloadable here.

Valentina for Cocoa is based on the Valentina 2.x architecture. That is, its a robust, extremely fast database system for creating desktop and true server applications (with  Valentina Embedded Server). If you program with Cocoa and want fast and flexible, Valentina for Cocoa is for you.

A few notes on this release:

  • If you aware of our class design for Valentina for REALbasic, you will find some similarities to how its structured in Valentina for Cocoa.
  • Valentina for Cocoa is for use with Objective-C, programming in xCode on the Mac
  • The API is ready for use with Apple’s binding mechanism
  • Sorry, there is only one code example with this release
  • V4CC is in Universal Binary Format! Valentina for Cocoa joins out Valentina C++ ADK and Valentina Studio products.

We invite everybody with an interest in Cocoa framework programming to give this a try. Quite a few developers who develop with REALbasic on the Mac seem to either be picking up Cocoa development or migrating there. We’ve tried to make migration as easy as possible.
