Graphical user interface

A graphical user interface, or GUI, is a form of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators such as secondary notation.

See AppKit and Graphical user interface

Interface (object-oriented programming)

In object-oriented programming, an interface or protocol type is a data type that acts as an abstraction of a class.

See AppKit and Interface (object-oriented programming)

Interface Builder

Interface Builder is a software development application for Apple's macOS operating system. AppKit and Interface Builder are NeXT.

Model–view–controller

Model–view–controller (MVC) is a software design pattern commonly used for developing user interfaces that divides the related program logic into three interconnected elements.

See AppKit and Model–view–controller

NeXTSTEP

NeXTSTEP is a discontinued object-oriented, multitasking operating system based on the Mach kernel and the UNIX-derived BSD. AppKit and NeXTSTEP are NeXT.

See AppKit and Objective-C

OpenStep

OpenStep is an object-oriented application programming interface (API) specification developed by NeXT. AppKit and OpenStep are application programming interfaces and NeXT.

See AppKit and OpenStep

Preview (macOS)

Preview is the built-in image viewer and PDF viewer of the macOS operating system. AppKit and Preview (macOS) are macOS.

See AppKit and Preview (macOS)

Publish–subscribe pattern

In software architecture, publish–subscribe is a messaging pattern where publishers categorize messages into classes that are received by subscribers.

See AppKit and Publish–subscribe pattern

Quartz (graphics layer)

In Apple's macOS operating system, Quartz is the Quartz 2D and Quartz Compositor part of the Core Graphics framework. AppKit and Quartz (graphics layer) are macOS.

SwiftUI is a declarative framework for building user interfaces for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS and macOS, developed by Apple Inc. for the Swift programming language.

See AppKit and SwiftUI

Target–action

The term target–action design paradigm refers to a kind of software architecture, where a computer program is divided into objects which dynamically establish relationships by telling each other which object they should target and what action or message to send to that target when an event occurs.

See AppKit and Target–action

See AppKit and TvOS

Value type and reference type

In certain computer programming languages, data types are classified as either value types or reference types, where reference types are always implicitly accessed via references, whereas value type variables directly contain the values themselves.

See AppKit and Value type and reference type
