Adder v0.1

Adder is just a little app put together to test the MiscControllerKit. If you are interested in how the ControllerKit works, this app (along with the MiscControllerKit documentation) is a good place to see how some of the more interesting functionality is being used. To see how the classes are interrelated, a good place to start might be the SingleAdderNibConnections.diagram or the SingleAdderNibConnections.eps file that shows the outlet connections.

The rest of the classes in Adder are documented a little, though most of the generic code to make the app run is in the MiscConrollerKit. See inside the MiscControllerKit for more information on it's classes. There's ClassDiagram.diagram2 (or ClassDiagram.ps) which is done using the Rational's Unified method (v0.8). Programmers might be interested in ControllerNotes.rtfd, which documents some of my reasoning for the way the code is written, and TODO is just a list I keep track of what needs to still be done. The source code to the controller kit is also autodoc enabled meaning you can run autodoc (it's in the MiscKit1.x distribution) on it and get nice "NeXT-like" class documentation.

Please note that the MiscControllerKit is still very much a work in progress. I just threw in the Inspector classes one night when I was playing around. There's probably lots of bugs in it (and the rest of the classes since nothing has really been put to the test). The window manager's API could use some house cleaning already, etc.... I submitted just so everyone could comment on it and see what will likely one day be a part of the OpenStep MiscKit.
