Xcode from NULL to 100;
I was recently browsing the new iTunes 9 Store and somehow ended up in the podcast section. I had a look around the featured podcast and noticed a somewhat new podcast about Xcode called “Xcode von NULL auf Hundert;” (the podcast is german and, as such, has a german title). Ever since I switched to a Mac I have wanted to learn some basics of Cocoa programming.
I started reading some resources on Objective-C programming a while ago, but didn't finish any because most of them were pretty technical and theoretical and thus getting boring pretty fast. The “Xcode from NULL to 100;” podcast does a lot more learning by doing – e.g. they guide you to build a (graphical!) calculator and explain memory allocating and releasing using that example.
The podcast targets absolute beginners – if you already have a background in programming, some of the information not related to OS X GUI programming will probably be pretty redundant to you, but you might still use the podcast to get started with Apple's Interface Builder.
