0. Screencasts

I’ve actualy decided to put this in first….. because it is what has helped me the most.

Best money you will ever spend i promise. These screencasts by Bill Dudney are pure gold. and they are DIRT cheap. Its not far off getting a grand’s worth of training for $25.

4. Games

*Note* There is not a huge amount of resources on iPhone Game Programming.
