Thanks for this cast! It’s a great intro and opens the door on many possibilities of new apps based on this one. I just found one little mistake (hopefully I’m not repeating what someone else said) but on line 58-61 of AppController.j:

var userInput = prompt(“Enter a search keyword”);
if (prompt) { // …

should probably be:

var userInput = prompt(“Enter a search keyword”);
if (userInput) { // …

Just thought I’d point it out! Otherwise if you open the input box and press cancel, it’ll search for quotes (I think)

[...] Por este post é só! Convido todos a aprenderem sobre este Framework, bons estudos, e não deixem de me mandar qualquer coisa que criem utilizando ele. Eu criei uma busca simples no Twitter, usando JSONP e Cappuccino, baseada num Screencast do CappuccinoCasts que vocês podem assistir aqui. [...]

@steve, @Miles Tinsley, @Nabil, @Boris : Thanks a lot for your feedback! Appreciated!

@Boris :

1. CPString indeed derives from CPObject. CPObject is the root class for most Cappuccino classes. What I can read here (http://cappuccino.org/discuss/2008/10/08/xmlhttprequest-jsonp-cappuccino/) is that it should be a CPString. It seems logic to me because the HTTP response is a string.

2. This is an error, I’ve corrected it here : http://github.com/suitmymind/cappuccinocasts-episodes/commit/80ddb53c73462312bde3038fd8341a04c46b0f12 . Thanks for noticing this!

Thanks for the great tutorial, Thomas! I have a couple of questions:

1. In connection:didReceiveData: you seem to be getting a CPString’s data.results. I suppose CPString should really be a CPObject, and this works because CPString derives from CPObject. Is that correct?

2. The declaration for connection:didFailWithError: seems to be missing a colon after connection. Is this alternative syntax reliable to use?

I’m finding these tutorials really helpful and I thought the copy/paste idea was good so that you only spend time on the new/difficult bits.

thanks again Thomas!

The copy and paste idea is great. It means getting to the good bits quicker!

Thanks!

Thanks for another informative cast.

About the copy pasting, it was fine. imo i would suggest even more copy/pasting thus allowing you more time to explain things, eg you could have copy pasted the label string you built of the tweet and saved some seconds to then not rush through the previous copy/paste bits.

but still, no complaints, very useful, as the others!

thanks alot!
