Searle,
Sorry if I sound so simplistic, but this seams to be a perfect task for
wiki. And to be honest, if you really would like to improve your Cocoa
understanding while doing such project, use WebObject instead of PHP.
Believe me, this will bring you much further.
On separate but related subject:
I am not convinced that the "description forthcoming" is a real
stumbling block worth mentioning. Apple inherited from NeXT the set of
frameworks with the most consistent naming standards on this planet.
They are so consistent, that quite often I just think "hmm, it should be
a method that does this and that", and I type doThis:withThat: and
press the compile button, and I feel like there is a chance of 70% I
will not get even a warning. Taking into account this consistency, and
consulting the headers (use the source Luke) should bring any reasonable
person quite far. With all due respect to some of the members of this
list, the biggest source of confusion, is not the quality of the
documentation, but the lack of good C knowledge and understanding of
the basic object oriented concepts, as well as insufficient experience
with different programming technics and algorithms. To improve that type
of skills no amount of Cocoa class documentation will ever help, but
books like "Pragmatic Programming" will certainly do so.
my usual $0.02
