Welcome to the MDN Show episode 7. John is back as he and Scotty discuss vacations, lard, Snow Leopard, Cappuccino and View Controllers as well as occasionally letting a guest get a word in edge ways as Scotty interviews Jonathan Dann about the Objective-C run time and Matt Gemmell reports in with a glimpse into his world

The abstract for Matt Gemmell’s NSConference session abstract has now been published. His session will be called “Designing and developing custom Cocoa controls”

MGTemplateEngine is a native Cocoa system for generating text output based on templates and data. It’s a close cousin of systems like Smarty, FreeMarker, Django’s template language, and so on.

MGScopeBar by Matt Gemmell provides a scope/filter bar like you’ll find in Mail, the Finder (in the Find/Spotlight window), iTunes and elsewhere. It requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or later.

This page contains some great open source controls and examples of Cocoa/Objective-C source code from Mac developer Matt Legend Gemmell.
