  Welcome to the wonderful world of computer programming. You're not 
likely to get much sympathy on a list full of people who've put a lot 
of work into learning how to develop applications successfully. Like 
any impressive skill, it takes a great deal of time and effort to 
become good at.

  That's not a sermon, but more like a commiseration. :-) It's 
difficult, but if you want to do it, you're going to have to learn 
like everyone else here. I suggest picking up an introductory book on 
object-oriented programming, then an introductory book on Cocoa 
development with Objective-C. This will get you started and make you 
feel a whole lot better about all those lines of code. You can find 
suggestions by searching this list's archives (it's been discussed to 
death in the past).

  Search www.lists.apple.com - there's an XCode-specific list there 
if you want to discuss adding this functionality to XCode. As to 
discussing it in general, google around for an appropriate discussion 
list; I have no specific suggestions.

  It depends on the forum. You're currently discussing this topic on 
a Cocoa-specific list. If it's not Cocoa-specific, it won't normally 
be discussed here. If on the other hand you've got questions about 
Cocoa, this is the perfect place to see developers discussing it. :-) 
This, however, is not a list for general programming discussions, 
which is why you don't see general tips-n-tricks style discussions.
