All,
It was brought up in another thread, but I didn't want to completely hijack it for this purpose.
I spent a little (very little) time adding some links and information to the Cocoa FAQ. I changed the link text from the forum head to "How do I get started programming on the Mac?" to hopefully guide people there more readily, as newcomers may not know what Cocoa means.
I'd encourage everyone to beef up the FAQ to include more iPhone specific examples, and links to any helpful tutorials, etc.
I think it would be good to have a "one-stop shop" for newcomers instead of us posting essentially the same answers to the "I want to write apps for the iPhone. I've never programmed/never programmed for the Mac before, where do I start?" type questions over and over again. Instead I think having a solid reference would go far, so questions are more like "Why doesn't the first class I wrote work?" where we can actually provide helpful guidance instead of continually spewing the same answers to the same questions ad infinitum.
If you guys have the time, try to beef the Cocoa FAQ more to make it a real resource. There were some links, and I tried to add more, to make it more complete.
