Notes"Now look at how iTunes Extras are built: while distributed as a single file, the item is really a bundle (a folder that Mac OS X treats as a file) that amounts to a self-contained web site. It acts as a container for folders of standard PNG and JPEG graphics, AAC audio, and H.264 video content together with HTML and CSS presentation and JavaScript code.The index.html page contained in iTunes Extra bundles references TuneKit Core, a JavaScripts framework that presents a foundation for working with basic TuneKit objects. TuneKit Views present additional code for building a user interface and event handling, such as keyboard navigation and mouse input. Controllers define what is displayed in the user interface and how. The whole ball of wax is built within the TK namespace."Unfurl
