Finally, is it really okay to ask low-level questions in this forum?
Because I have a ton of them! Or should I just give this up and
start a Cocoa Cult list for the hoards of wannabes like me? Sorry for
being so flip, but it's the only way I know how to avoid screaming!
It is perfectly OK to ask any question here, as long as you maintain
some level of style, and try to search the archives of omni and apple
before asking something that might have been answered before.
Something I keep reminding people in the Linux community: telling
people to search the archives is only helpful if they know the words
that are significant to search on to find the question they're trying
to answer. Usually newbies like behoward don't. That's a feature, not a
bug.
Absolutely, what I meant was that one should try to investigate the
issue using what ever available resources before "disturbing" other
people. Not that I really see it as disturbance, but limiting traffic is
good for most lists..
Ultimately, if people are going to program for the Mac, that "head
banging" learning cliff is going to have to be brought down for people,
some of whom will vent frustration here. It isn't helpful to call them
"childish." Being frustrated causes people to vent; name calling does
not reduce frustration.
Nontheless, I don't thing a developer centered list is the place to
discuss religious sacrifice...I thing the original post could have been
better phrased like "is there any introductory documentation" instead of
yelling on about how little documentation there is.
