I’m starting to program. Already did some things with Java: a calculator, one document management system powered with a database and some other home projects. But I don’t like the visual look. I love however how mi Mac’s Apps look. And I want to create Apps for mac. Already buy one but when I open netbeans to program it looks like the Apps doesn’t feel like mac.
Is there any specific java code to make the controls looks like how the other mac apps look? My dad mention something about Object C but I don’t understand. Can someone please explain me.
AFAIK You’ll never get the look and feel of Aqua (Mac’s UI Kit) by using Java. Why? Because to make Java platform independent some things needs to get ripped off. And native controls are one of them.
I think you’re taking about Objective C which is the native development language for building Mac Apps. I’ll recommend you the book “Learn Objective-C on the Mac” is pretty useful.
P.S. I’ll encourage you to start with iOS (iPhone and iPad apps). Why? Well, I think is easier to begin with. Things like fixed resolution and so on make your development efforts small while beginning with. (Just my 2 cents)
