IPhone Developer Connection from Apple. On the site you will find.

  • Background documents outlining various technologies.
  • Tutorials and getting started guides for every type of thing you need to do with iPhone
  • Sample code demonstrating the full power of the SDK
  • Registered developers get access to videos showing everything from installing the SDK to publishing.

Also check out this Stanford iTunes U course (link to iTunes) from Stanford, which covers useful iPhone programming tips and tricks.

Here is the Stanford course homepage for the above course.

There is a very nice compilation in SO:
What are the best Cocoa-Touch / iPhone blogs?

Here is a well-written article about "Cocoa - My Girlfriend" that describes how to create a small iPhone application from scratch:
Cocoa Touch Tutorial: iPhone Sample Application

Good article for beginners to learn Objective-C - Scott Stephensons "Learn Objective-C" . (As it was written in the pre-iPhone era, it is aimed at Mac software developers, but it's about basic language concepts - that's why it is valid for both platforms)

The official iPhone developer portal contains all the documents and some tutorials.

I began to study this site: http://www.appsamuck.com/ It was time, not sure if they updated it, but Back in February 2009 it was very useful for me.

Based on my personal experience (I was not initially familiar with Objective-C or even C, in this respect - my programmer was PHP Javascript and shell scripts), I found that a number of books are more useful than any website - maybe , this is the answer you are looking for:

  • "Programming in Objective-C 2.0" by Stephen Cochan (for learning the language. Until I had this book, they continued to confuse me with most Objective-C)
  • "iPhone SKD" published by O'Reilly (in order to understand how to do this)
  • Developer Documentation (part of Xcode - try [double-clicking Alt] on a word in Xcode)
  • google search
  • stackoverflow.com
  • sometimes even the header files of the framework (in Xcode) of the libraries you use

Using the first three tools, I found that I could understand most of what I needed to know. When I was at a loss after checking these sources and searching on Google, this forum was indispensable for learning what I needed.
