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 this list?
[My apologies if this is a duplicate message. I sent it out yesterday,
but I haven't seen come back through the list yet.]
