copied!<p>While the iPhone development evironment isn't strictly a subset of the Mac, since there are some improved and iPhone-specific bits, it is nearly so (and it's mainly the good bits). Thus, the Mac is probably the easiest platform to move to from iPhone.</p> <p>On the Mac, you will especially want to learn about Cocoa Bindings, which underly a lot of modern UI work, but aren't (yet) on the phone.</p> <p>Addressing your specific question, some well-respected free Mac coding resources include:</p> <ul> <li>the canonical <a href="http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/cocoa-dev" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>cocoa-dev mailing list</strong></a> run by Apple (which, unfortunately, has only the woefully lame web access implemented by Apple, and sporadically augmented by unreliable third-party efforts, making it mostly useful via actually subscribing to it from one of your email acccounts)</li> <li>the <a href="http://www.cocoadev.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>CocoaDev wiki</strong></a></li> <li>Rogue Amoeba's Mike Ash has an unusually useful Q&A Fridays series on his <a href="http://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>blog</strong></a></li> <li>the advanced Mac programming book from Aaron Hillegass, <a href="http://www.bignerdranch.com/products.shtml" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>Advanced Mac OS X Programming</strong></a></li> <li>although Apple's docs are pretty good now, in the bad old "description forthcoming" days, a lot of us learned how Mac OS X ticked from open-source code published by reputable software houses, like <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/developer/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>Omni's frameworks</strong></a> which you are free to embed as-is into your apps, or cherrypick code from</li> </ul> <p>(Hmm, I don't usually post here, so I was prohibited from hyperlinking the above references... can I put them in as text? Uh, nope! Well, there's always google, I guess.)</p>
