I see occasional references of tutorials on the list, and I look forward to their appearance with eagerness. But I fear that their usefulness may be be greatly reduced, as have so many in the past, by their attachment to XCode. I do not know whether XCode is a good or a bad thing for developers because it is totally beyond my comprehension. I do know that it gives rise to a "lead by the hand" style of tutorial from which it is difficult to learn anything. You know the kind of thing: "Click on this; type in that; drag this from here to there; click on that, and voilà!". But no attempt is made to provide a model form which one could understand this moves, or to produce a sequence of events that would achieve the result *I* have in mind. Examples are, or course, indispensible, so long as one can see what it is that they exemplify. Maybe someone could explain, as well as exemplify XCode or, alternatively, do MacRuby without it. --Martin
