when I don't have the answer to a Mac programming problem, and if we
just sent those 10 URLs to every new subscriber of this list, perhaps
it'd help some people and cut down on redundant list traffic. Also,
it's so much better to hear questions phrased as "I wanted to do X,
and I tried Y and Z, but they gave me these results instead of the
desired ones" rather than "how do you do X?" Half the time, when I'm
about to post to the mailing list, I start to write my question that
way, develop a small test case, and discover my problem in the process.
these are excellent suggestions. i've emailed the admin on this list
in the past, and he's a nice and helpful guy. maybe you could suggest
these things to him. perhaps he'd agree to send an email to new
subscribers outlining where to look for basic info, and how to solve
one's own problems before approaching the list. that might cut down on
the super-basic questions.
I'm not quite a Cocoa newbie anymore, but I don't think I have 10 URLs
for Cocoa development. Let's see:
1. Local Cocoa docs (from the Developer CD)
file:///Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/CocoaTopics.html
2. And the online version
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Cocoa/CocoaTopics.html
3. Apple sample code
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/
4. Apple Darwin pages
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/
5. OpenDarwin.org
http://www.opendarwin.org/
6. O'Reilly's Mac DevCenter
http://www.macdevcenter.com/mac/
7. Stepwise
http://www.stepwise.com/
8. Cocoa Dev Central
http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/
9. Mailing list archives
http://cocoa.mamasam.com/
10. Techstra (for the 'Learning Cocoa' and 'Cocoa Programming for Mac OS
X' books
http://techstra.net/
Okay, so that's 10. But the Darwin ones may or may not be newbie
material, and the first two are (sort of) duplicates. Here are a few
more, although they aren't really Cocoa-specific:
1. Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures
http://www.nist.gov/dads/
2. Portal for the Macintosh Game Developer
http://www.idevgames.com/
3. OpenGL
http://www.opengl.org/
What else could we add to the list?
