just a note: the memory management tutorial links are quite similar, or do I miss a joke here?

Fixed; thanks for pointing that out.

As a Cocoa newb, it rings true for me. I think you have a point with the Bindings. I have been able to make some pretty interesting demo apps with only bindings. But, now I'm really struggling to figure out how to get to the underlying data & where to "plug in" as it's being shuffled around. Nice article. As a Cocoa newb, it rings true for me.

If an Open Source app does something that you want in Your Dream Up, just look it (but beware licensing). I learned quite a bit from Richard's DesktopManager, the iTerm project and Growl. The advice here would be: Read and understand code written by others. You learn about different ways to solve problems and when to use which approach.

Certainly you need to understand accessors first, but I think learning table view datasource methods is essentially a waste of time at this point. I completely agree writing code is the most valuable thing you can do is just start writing code -- any code at all. Dude, where's the shout out to watching <a href="http://cocoablogs.com/" rel="nofollow">Cocoa Blogs</a> to see what other Mac programmers are up to? Not just trying to be clever, I think watching other developers is absolutely invaluable. It helps you cut through theory and find out what matters in real-world cases.

I completely agree writing code is the most valuable thing you can do is just start writing code — any code at all.
