Scripting Language Support

You can use Interface Builder for more than just Carbon and Cocoa applications. Interface Builder also provides support for applications built using the Ruby, Python, and AppleScript scripting languages.

If you are a Ruby or Python developer, you can take advantage of the Cocoa scripting bridge to write your application code using Ruby or Python but still use nib files to create your application’s user interface. As you build your interface, you associate elements from that interface with the objects in your Ruby and Python scripts much like you would with Objective-C classes. For information about how to use the Cocoa scripting bridge, see Ruby and Python Programming Topics for Mac OS X.

If you are an AppleScript developer, you can continue to build applications using Interface Builder and AppleScript Studio. For more information on how to create applications using AppleScript Studio, see AppleScript Studio Programming Guide.
