One resource you didn’t mention is http://stackoverflow.com – as an example, this post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4848137/debugging-over-released-objects-problem-with-nszombie
just saved the poster hours/days of grief and with people like bbum and others providing the expert answers they do, it’s a goldmine.
Good find, thanks. I definitely need to come up with something to search for new/good answers better on stack overflow.
It’s a great resource.. unfortunately like all answer sites you see the wrong answer get the check mark occasionally.
