Hi Yvan - it sort of depends on your learning style. Personally I don't learn well unless I do something, so it's always a "good use of time" to try to build something, even if I have to throw it away later.

If you're like me, it's also very difficult to anticipate when exactly things will "click." You just keep trying and one day it becomes easy.

One way of "doing" with a relatively minimal waste of effort is to spend time tweaking other people's source code. Get some open source Cocoa based applications of relatively substantial size (Adium, Shiira come to mind) and start fixing bugs!

Sorry for the vague answer but it's my way of saying that I don't think there's a particular path to follow here. You're just at the uncomfortable space between beginner and intermediate. One day - maybe soon, you'll be a lot more comfortable!

I have no idea of what to do now. Read more documentation. Ask here about technical difficulties rather organizational ones. Starting my app from scratch and using the previous experience to have a better design, and using documentation when I have no other choice. Continue to work on my old "crappy" one (I think it is crappy, but not sure !).
