Motivation

Use Cocoa’s Outlets, Targets, and Actions design pattern to achieve the following objectives:

• Support direct programmatic configuration of user interface objects.

• Specify what application actions should take place as the result of user interactions with user interface objects.

• Avoid coupling between generic reusable user interface objects and application-specific behavior.

• Avoid code duplication when multiple user interfaces invoke the same application-specific actions.

• Enable context-sensitive behavior as the result of user interaction with user interface objects.
