I have a podcast with images in, and I just want the sound of it. I have thought that I could develop a little iOS app to only play the music in videos. The problem is that I'm a beginner on Objective-C, and I'd like the help of the "pro" people. Is my app possible to realize?
Yes, it is possible, but we won't do your work for you.
Once you've learnt the basics, it shouldn't be hard to implement what you want using the AV Foundation framework.
If you get stuck, you're welcome to ask for help here, but remember: http://www.whathaveyoutried.com.
hey guys im new to this site and new to the IOS development. i have prior programing experience mainly VB.net and some basic C, what i need is a really good quick access reference for everything obj-c.
any kind of help is greatly appreciated!
Thank You,

What exactly do you want to learn about? If it's just the basics of how to use Objective-C and Cocoa, try Apple's Introduction to the Objective-C Programming Language.
For everything Objective-C? http://developer.apple.com contains gigabytes of documentation about Objective-C, the Cocoa frameworks, and the secondary Objective-C-based frameworks on Apple's operating systems.
If it is a reference you are after, everything you need is in the Xcode/SDK download. The developer documentation menu item under Help provides access. However, I personally don't think the search is very good. If you are on line, you can Google developer.apple.com for the same docs. For example the search term:
site:developer.apple.com ios nsstring
will take you to the class reference for NSString.
Up and Running: Objective-C is what I used to cut my teeth on. Great book to get you started. All those Beginning iPhone books are worthless for teaching you Objective-C. Get a real Objective-C book and then start reading those other books. For $5 you can purchase the iOS ebook. Best $5 I have ever spent.
I'm developing a reader app for viewing and highlighting proprietary format documents. The documents are 2D. (Might add some cool page flip effects) The interface is similar to that of mobile safari. I have no prior experience with iOS development. Could you guys point me to the right direction? (Things I need to consider, tutorials, sample projects...) THX
developer.apple.com - it will take you a VERY long way. And then google whatever you need after that.
In itune U, you can download the 'iPhone Application Programming' course form Stanford University.
Assuming you're a registered developer, Apple just made all of the videos and slides from last week's WWDC available for free at http://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2010/. There's an insane amount of very up-to-date info there.
I've been programming in VB.net for a while now, and I finally got access to a mac to make ipod apps. What are some useful sites, videos, etc. that could help me get used to Objective C and the Xcode IDE? I've stumbled upon the samples on the apple dev site, but none of them really give good examples which I could learn the syntax of the language from.
Thanks for the help, Objective C is really a big change from VB.net!
Here are some helpful starter references from the Apple site, first for Objective-C itself, then for the Cocoa frameworks.
Learning Objective-C: A Primer
Cocoa Fundamentals Guide
There are also "getting started" videos available from http://developer.apple.com/iphone (you have to register as a developer to get access, but that's free)
You might want to take a look at MonoTouch if you like working with .Net. As far as I'm aware, it only works with C#, but it will let you use the .NET api to program for the iPhone. Might be worth looking into if you don't want to learn Objective C.
I'm a Java guy who is familiar with Swing programming and recently just started out with iPhone programming. Boy the learning curve was steep and now I would like to start Cocoa development for desktop apps.
I've been reading on articles and considering buying few cocoa book to advance my learning, still I feel I don't fully get it yet. I started about 3 months back and pretty comfortable with XCode and Objective-C but developing cocoa for desktop apps looks like a different game from iPhone development.
My questions are:
Suitable book to pick up and learn from.
What blogs I should follow?
Any code example I should look at to learn from.
I've been looking at Adium src and considering buying Cocoa Programming 3rd but the book looks like bunch of stuff I already kinda know.
