In 5-7 days, you went from having no idea how to program in Objective-C to finishing an app and submitting it to the App Store. Impressive! Is there a tutorial you really liked, that you could link me to? A few months ago I paid the $99 membership fee to become a Mac developer but as I started to read all the documentation Apple gives you it got surprisingly overwhelming. There didn't seem to be a good roadmap and the documentation all referenced xcode 3 even though the latest version was xcode 4. From your blog post, you appear to have learned more from Googling than you did from the Apple documentation.
