Tutorials to me are pretty much useless, as I am not looking for a "step
by step" cookbook to just getting something working, but rather a
discussion of the why. How many times have we seen a tutorial say
something like "control-drag from the textfield to the File's Owner
object?" (just a random example). OK, I can do that, but it is a waste
of my time - it's like paint-by-number when trying to learn art. Take
the "Currency Converter With Bindings" much-touted tutorial; it actually
uses a method that is deprecated.
It's my eagerness to explore and understand all of this rich collection
of functions that frustrates me when the documentation doesn't go into
enough depth.
Have you read the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide?
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaFundamentals/Introduction/chapter_1_section_1.html
Much of what you seek is explained therein. If the Guide makes no sense
to you, I'd suggest picking up some basic books on OO programming and
design patterns. Read them, then come back to the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide.
Cheers,
Jason
