Topic: "Evolution of an Interface"


On a recent project, I needed to design the interface between two objects. It was a graphing application, and the typical Apple "Data Source" protocol seemed perfect for the job. As the application grew, some issues with that decision became more obvious -- some of them inherent, and some related to the specifics of what I was doing.

I'll try to talk about those issues, and how I changed the interface to deal with them. There should be plenty of opportunity for the group to tell me where I might have gone wrong (or right), and what you'd havedone instead. So though I'll have my own set of questions and answers, I
hope you'll have alternate viewpoints, and we'll all learn something!

I hope there will be something here for Apple programmers of a wide variety of experience levels.P.S. If you're coming, rsvp at Meetup.com <http://meetup.com/>.  People decide they're coming based on how many others say Yes!
