Default I want to start development

Okay,

So I have just got a new MAC.

I pick up things fast, but have not found a decent tutorial for app development.


Does anyone know of one?

The best resource is definitely the Apple Documentations. It may not be as user friendly as some of the books that's out there but you can guarantee the code on these documentations will always be up to date and relevant whenever possible.

It definitely depends on what your knowledge level is. I'm assuming you know Objective-C, if so I'd just stick to Apple's documentations and testing mini apps on xcode.

Agreed with dennno.

You can use this as a short Hello World to get to know the basics of Xcode: Loading…

Other than that, these three guides are an absolute must-read for any iOS developer:
1. Loading…
2. Loading…
3. Loading…

Everything else can be found here: iOS Developer Library

In general, the Xcode docs are quite good, but the quality and accuracy has gone downhill lately. For example, lots of sections of the docs still describe the Xcode 3 way of doing things. Xcode 4 is radically different, so it can be frustrating if you're trying to figure out how to do something.

To the OP, what's your level of experience in programming in general? Do you know C? Objective C? Have you done any Mac development?
