I’m a big fan of the Pragmatic Bookshelf site where a typical purchase includes the paper copy as well as a personalised PDF. So far, I have the Stripes, Core Data, and Beginning Mac Programming books/pdfs. They also have some screencasts which look interesting as well.

In the meantime, I continue in my efforts to migrate from the Java web-app paradigm to the mac desktop/mobile app way of doing things. I think my biggest conceptual hurdle is navigating the bindings in Interface Builder. I much prefer the old-fashioned way of coding … using text. Using a new-window-happy application to manage object bindings just makes my head hurt when trying to find the right triangle to click, the right checkbox or option to select, or trying to determine why something isn’t connected the way I think it is.
