Big list of high-quality iOS learning resources including courses, blogs, newsletters, podcasts, and devloper communities
I have collected a list of quality iOS blogs, newsletters, courses etc to further your knowledge and stay on top of news. This is not a huge list of every resource out there by any means, but I think these are the best and more importantly I have tried to only include active sites. Most are free with the exception of a few course websites which are well worth the inexpensive monthly cost. Please let me know of others! twitter.com/earthabbey -- abbey @ abbeyjackson .ca
Before diving into iOS specific stuff, here are a list of resources to help people who are 100% new to programming get a feel for terminology and the way programming actually works:
- tutorialspoint.com/developers_best_practices
- tutorialspoint.com/computer_glossary.htm
- learn.saylor.org/course/view.php?id=66 (Elementary Data Structures -- this will help you greatly if you have no prior programming experience)
##Blogs: Several blogs are tutorial based but because they do not have good organization of tutorial topics I have included them here rather than the "Course-like" section where the organized tutorial sites are.
