Well, yes, there actually *many* "start here" sort of things. But
because of the depth of possibilities, you have to narrow down your
curiosity-of-the-moment, and then seek the help on that specific area.
Here are two very useful ways to get started:
Within the Xcode program, go to the File > New menu and create a new
project. You are presented with a list of typical programming
situations. Choose one. Build the project after it opens. Look at the
source code files that the template provided and start modifying them
and adding to them and see what happens.
Within the /Developer/Examples directory (folder) are a wealth of
sample Xcode projects which demonstrate a very wide variety of useful
tasks. Pick one. Open the Xcode project within. Build it. Run it, if
applicable. Mess with the source code and see what happens.
A caveat on the Examples: Most of them are blessed with a readme file
that will usually give you some idea what the heck the thing is. This
is spotty. Also, not all examples actually build at any given time,
as your OS and /Developer installations morph over time. It is quite
a chore to keep so many examples up to date, and Apple does a pretty
fair job of it, but it is an uphill battle. So, don't expect
perfection therein.
Have fun,

P.S.: Your subject line could use some improvement! People should be
able to get a good hint as to what you are asking or saying just by
the subject. Otherwise, many folks won't even bother to read your
message.
