User Interfaces: The Application Kit
James Dovey, Ash Furrow · Apress eBooks · 2012
On Mac OS X, the Application Kit ( AppKit.framework ) contains all the primary elements you’ll need to create a feature-rich graphical application. There are others, of course, but everything has its roots in the AppKit. It’s here the concepts of windows, views, controls, and input events are defined, along with the core Objective-C APIs for dealing with rendering of graphics and text. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
