Sorry.  Right after I posted, I found http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?FAQs


I should add, since the top link on that page is mine, that I haven't  
updated that document for ages, and while it covers some basic things  
and links to some other useful documents, there's a lot of newer stuff  
(notably things like Core Data, and ObjC 2 features like properties  
and fast enumeration) that just aren't covered.


It'd be nice to have an official FAQ for the list...

Kind regards,

Alastair.

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.
