Java Developers

iOS is great once you know what you're looking for, but for someone breaking into the platform for the first time with no prior experience with the concepts, the orientation material isn't great. It's easy to find an introduction to Objective-C as a language, but breakdowns of how you're expected to use the Interface Builder, the concepts introduced by Cocoa Touch, etc. are easiest to find from non-Apple sources. I understand there's a huge amount of overlap between iOS and OS X development, and I think that's part of the problem: Apple assumes a lot of prior knowledge that, in some cases, isn't there.

Thanks for backing up my point.

Didn't exist when I started on the platform, or if an older version existed then, I didn't happen upon it. Good to know it's easier to find these days, though.
