What is the best source to learn Cappuccino? I do "traditional" web development, but i'm very interested in this new framework. Please note that I have no knowledge of Objective-C.

As mentioned above, the website is a good place, but there are also some other good resources:

There are a few others too, and many of them are linked to from the site.

Certainly not much about Objective-J yet here on SO. Maybe it'll pick up when Atlas comes out. The webcasts are stunning. Is the language itself (Objective-J) changing much at this point? Or are you mainly addressing bugs and adding Cocoa-like functionality. – Imperturbation 18/6, 2009 at 1:16

Thank you - helpful link. The documentation is still a bit sparse though. I was wondering whether there may a book coming out at some point. Maybe an O'Reilly book? – Wiedmann 18/6, 2009 at 14:17

The language itself is pretty much stable and has been for a good year or so (aside possibly fixing bugs people may find). – Maypole 22/6, 2009 at 0:20

I wrote a real life cappuccino tutorial based on an actual customer project: http://www.springenwerk.com/2009/09/real-life-cappuccino-tutorial-part-1.html

Do you still have the tutorial? – Andry 12/6, 2015 at 5:54

@Andry Yes, had to change the URL from blog. to www.. You might be better off reading a more up-to-date tutorial though. This one is 6 years old. – Butterfat 12/6, 2015 at 13:3

Cool it work. Do you know if cappuccino is compatible with Xcode 6 ? – Andry 12/6, 2015 at 21:44

@Andry I believe so. – Butterfat 15/6, 2015 at 13:5

On the tutorials is says:

A great introduction to Objective-J. Familiarity with JavaScript is recommended, prior knowledge of Objective-C not required.

It seems the website is a good place to learn. Interesting framework.

You also have http://www.cappuccino-project.org/learn/

It is our new work-in-progress website. Not complete at all, it still has some very basic tutorials to help you starting coding with Cappuccino

I recently took up learning cappuccino. I found the Cappuccino Casts and the tutorials on cappuccino.org, however, like you, I come from a web development background - not cocoa / desktop apps.

Following some online tutorials was good to a degree, but I felt I lacked fundamental knowledge about the Objective-C and Cocoa and Cappuccino is modelled so closely to it. I bough a copy of Aaron Hillegass' book called "Cocoa(R) Programming for Mac(R) OS X" here: http://www.amazon.com/Cocoa-Programming-Mac-OS-3rd/dp/0321503619/ref=pd_sim_b_3 which I felt really helped with my base understand of application development rather than traditional web development.

I would definitely recommend giving it a read, I worked my way through it in a few days and thought it gave enough knowledge to understand what all the Cappuccino stuf was about.

I recently found that when I install Cappuccino from source, there is a fairly significant amount of code to learn from hidden away in <install-dir>/Cappucino/Tests/Manual

There is a wealth of code there that isn't advertised anywhere but is certainly good enough to learn from. Just drop the Frameworks next to the index.html file in each test folder and open up and learn!
