I have been thinking about BigNerdRanch. It would have been a great 
start  ...but I guess now I would be more interested in advanced 
topics.

Talking with an experienced Cocoa guy would probably help a lot. Which 
is why I am looking forward to WWDC. The CocoaHeads meetings also come 
to mind.

Unfortunately there are no CocoHeads meetings in Germany ...even 
continental Europe. So I was thinking about getting a CocoaHeads 
Frankfurt started - if people are interested and would show up. 
(Please drop me a mail off list. If I get more than 10 people 
confirmed I'll get that started.)

cheers
