    Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky got together a little over a year ago to create I think the best online tech communities around. Somehow they where able pull it off which I commend them on their great feat, getting developers to work together!…if you have never heard of these sites, I highly urge you to go and start using these sites!

    Online development communities:

    My accounts on these sites:

    Joel and Jeff have a great podcast as well that I am an avid listener too.

    As well the Stack Overflow iPhone app is here!

    –SEE ALL LION FOLDERS–
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    chflags nohidden /Library/

    –SHOW ALL FILES IN FINDER WINDOW–
    write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

    –SHOW — Hard Drive not visible Mac OSx0–
    If you open the Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities) and run ls /Volumes

    One thing everyone should be able to have, is a link to Xcode, Interface Builder and the mac simulator.
    This is where they all are:

    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app
    /Developer/Applications/Interface Builder.app
    /Developer/Applications/Instruments.app
    /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications

    First things first, get this xcode class from Stanford called iPhone Application Programming (Spring 2009) in iTunes U.

    There are some other amazing iPhone/iPad courses from Stanford, you can find them here:
    http://itunes.stanford.edu/.
    Check out iPhone Application Development (Winter 2010).

    Some great fast commands for Xcode development are:

    Great step by step on the process of putting your app in the app store.

    Switch between code:

    [option key] 1
    [option key] 2


    Indenting code:

    [option key] ]
    [option key] [


    Switching code:

    [option key] [command key] [up key]

    Sending an executable:

    If you want to zip up your executable for an app you will:
    [your name]/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.2/Applications/[folders to delete]

    Clear out everything in this folder.
    Build and Run your project.
    In simulator close all open apps, even the ones running in the background.
    Go back into [your name]/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/4.2/Applications/[zip up the folder created]
    Zip up your project and that is it!
    Put into any other computer as an executable.
