No it's not just you. I've gotten to a point where I am at a plateau. I want to do things that use NSOutlineView. All the tutorials that teach bindings teach it using NSTableView. The examples that come with the Development tools are designed for people who already understand Cocoa/Obj-C. Not for newbies which makes it real difficult for someone who's coming from a web programming (php/ perl/javascript) background to get going with Cocoa on graphical entities like this. I feel the Apple documentation is written in much the same way. Not aimed at someone just learning Obj-C/Cocoa. In all reality I've found this list to even be quite useless. I've asked questions that either 1) go unanswered, 2.) am told to read the apple docs, which I don't feel are very newbie friendly, or 3.) have been given a couple smart remarks "come back when you understand the basics of 'xxxx'." It's really obnoxious.
