Didn't there used to be a FAQ list for Cocoa-Dev?
Several people recently asked me for links to introductory Cocoa and
Cocoa Touch information. I pointed iPhone folks to http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/navigation/GettingStarted.html
and the others to http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/GS_Cocoa/index.html
. The Cocoa Getting Started link was actually hard to find. It is
buried under Reference Library and then Cocoa. I seem to remember it
being on the front page of Mac Dev Center the way the similar link is
on the front page of iPhone Dev Center.
Anyway, I didn't find a FAQ for this list. Does one exist? Did I
miss it because I always read through Cocoabuilder ?
Do any of you recommend technical conferences or training for
introductory Cocoa developers? At least one person asked me to
recommend training that his company could reimburse. I have always
heard great things about the Big Nerd Ranch and enjoy Aaron Hillegass'
books. Are there other formal training opportunities outside of full
blown university courses? Are there informal courses beyond the
fabulous university pod casts on iTunes?
There is the annual WWDC. Isn't there a conference in Chicago too? I
think MacHack in Flint MI is defunct - right? I know about http://www.voicesthatmatter.com/iphone2009/
in Boston because I will be speaking at it (blatant plug - contact
me for attendee discounts...) Are there any other conferences? Are
there any in Europe, Asia, or Australia?
Is the http://www.cocoadev.com/ Wiki a good place to send newbies in
your opinion? I used to think so, but the site seems chaotic and
stale now... I would love to be corrected though.
