iPhone SDK and Xcode Tutorial
I tried googling and searching the Apple website and found nothing that was of help to a beginner Xcode developer. Apple has done a poor job with releasing good documentation of the iPhone SDK or How-Tos/code samples to help beginners learn to write applications on their iPhone platform.
The creator of http://icodeblog.com/ has done a super job at creating blog and video based Xcode development tutorials that are geared to the VERY BEGINNER. They are easy to follow and they build!!!!
Give them a try and let me what you think.
I am successfully writing iPhone apps thanks to this site.
Have a great weekend,
