I DO pick up SOME useful tips from here and will continue to subscribe, but does anyone know of a 'beginners' version of this list that I could subscribe to as well, while I'm a beginner?

There are two lists that host Cocoa discussions. This one, and a second run by a third party (www.omnigroup.com). The Omni list is a bit more general in that it isn't just Cocoa discussion, but Mac development discussion in general.


As a moderator I can say that all levels of experience are welcome on this list.

	Here are some general hints for both newbies and old-timers.

- do make an attempt to find the answer in the existing documentation before posting
- if you find an answer and it isn't clear then feel free to post to the list (and file feedback on the doc!)
- remember to check the list archives, there are many questions that have been asked before
- try and be as precise as possible in asking your question, and a good subject title is a must
- this list is not an official Apple support channel
- Apple engineers often read the list and are willing to help, but it is largely on their own time (see also: not an official Apple support channel)
- this list is not an official way to file bugs or feature enhancements
- Please use bugreporter.apple.com to file bugs or enhancement requests
- You can also file documentation feedback from the links at the bottom of every documentation page
- filing bugs is hugely important
- please act in a professional manner and treat others with respect. This is typically not a major issue here, but it has come up.



If you're just getting started I'd __STRONGLY__ recommend reading the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide


http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ CocoaFundamentals/index.html

It'll point you in the right direction and guide you through the other documentation. Documentation is updated and expanded on a regular basis (about every 5-6 weeks) and Xcode can tell you when the new documentation is available for download to your local machine.
