Official company's product documentation can not be suitable for
newcomers almost by definition. It has to be complete (and therefore
big) as well as up-to-date (and therefore avoid redundancy and force
the user to read many topics rather than containing step-to-step
explanations of particular tasks). If you spent time on MSDN or UNIX
manual pages, you would encounter similar frustration.
While Apple could write a second set of documentation, they would
both stunt the market for independent authors and expose themselves
to criticism for errors and omissions in these books, which they
wouldn't be able to update on monthly bases like they do with
reference documents. Instead, there are some excellent 3rd party
books such as these:
Cocoa(R) Programming for Mac(R) OS X (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Programming in Objective-C (Paperback)
Step into Xcode: Mac OS X Development (Paperback)
Once you read these books cover-to-cover you may still have some
questions and valid criticisms of Apple's documents. But they
probably will not be about NSDictionary or memory management and you
may find people more interested and responsive in addressing them.
