Basic example of OS X app initialization in RubyCocoa without nib file or XCode.

Primary LanguageRuby

RubyCocoa TestApp

This is a very simple example of how to successfully write an OS X application that displays a window and correct menu bar, in RubyCocoa.

It does not require a .nib file or any of that other nonsense.

What is really nice about this is:

  1. You get to use Ruby.
  2. You get to not install XCode.

RubyCocoa, by the way, is only about 6MB in size. Releases are at https://github.com/rubycocoa/rubycocoa/releases.

It's basically just a translation/enhancement of a blog post by Matt Gallagher entitled 'Minimalist Cocoa programming'. Thank you, Matt.
