Ever wanted to throw together a GUI app for the Mac but felt intimidated at the prospect of learning Objective-C? Ever wished there was a Mac native version of PHP-GTK? This session will give you a peek at building native Mac apps using PHP.
We’ll start by showing how to build PHP with support for Cocoa, and then construct a simple GUI app, using interface builder to design the interface, and then distill it into a Mac bundle that can be redistributed and used by others.
