No doubt at all about the enthusiastic motives; however, most of these folks couldn't teach compulsive gamblers how to lose money, judging by the sorry state of the tutorials and books about Cocoa.

I and the others who spend time putting together these tutorials certainly do enjoy your appreciative tone. I guess all the positive feedback we've gotten in the past was just lies to protect us from the awful truth.

Geez, and you wonder why people get snippy with you? That's about the most ungrateful thing I've ever heard.

It's interesting that there were several years where people were learning Cocoa in much smaller numbers, with the only resources being the docs and sites like Stepwise and they managed (true, they didn't come into things totally blind.. they usually learned a little C first).

And while there were some problems, not to the degree that you're having.
