Learn Cocoa, Part II
When we posted about Part I of Scott Stevenson's Learn Cocoa tutorial, some people complained that there wasn't actually any coding involved. Well Part II at least introduces what Scott calls "Thinking in Code" and begins to dig a little deeper into what is required to actually use Xcode to write a Cocoa application. Obviously, Scott is moving very slowly, as yet again he requires no previous experience, but his lavishly illustrated guide is a pleasure to behold. He holds out the promise of more such guides in the future, provided some donations are forthcoming. Given how well he's done so far, I hope that comes to pass. Check it out at Cocoa Dev Central.

I'd like to point out how few programming tutorials don't start with "no code" and end up turning off complete beginners. I want to learn to program and I'm not afraid of taking on Cocoa (knowing how steep this would be). But, there are few resources for learning from a completely basic level. I applaud Scott's willingness to start from zero, and hope this leads to a few more mac programmers.

Here, hear! I agree with Jon.
Plus, many beginner's tutorials teach you the language, but not *how* to program -- programming begins before you type a single character of code. It seems that Scott has considered this.
