Where can I find sample iPhone code?

Question

Sample code is one of the most useful tools for learning about programming. There seem to be many sources on the web for iPhone sample code, but some are harder to find than others. Here's a collection of links I've found so far. Does anyone know of some other sources for iPhone sample code?

• Apple Sample Code: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/navigation/SampleCode.html

• Apps Amuck 31 days: http://appsamuck.com/

Answer 2

http://icodeblog.com/ has many useful tutorials

Answer 3

The sample code from the book I co-wrote is also freely available: http://pragprog.com/titles/amiphd/source_code. Good luck!

Answer 4

I find that the most useful sample code for me comes with some explanation of what's going on. I prefer a well explained blog post to just source code. Here's some I like

BYU Cocoaheads

http://cocoaheads.byu.edu/

Big Nerd Ranch

http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/

Cocoa with love

http://cocoawithlove.com/

Will Shipley

These are just sample code:

Answer 5

You can look around on many of the shared SCM sites (github, google code, etc) and find interesting things just by looking for "iPhone".

Answer 6

• Wordpress
• Matt Gemmell

I am starting to look at the Wordpress source. I am interested in applications that correctly show how to organize Model View Controller code. My experience in MVC is from ASP.NET MVC and what I learned there is to have clear separation of the Model from the Controller.

I have seen that Matt Gemmell has some Cocoa source available. There may be some lower level stuff that could be useful.

The samples that I have seen in the iPhone SDK Development book by Bill Dudney and Chris Adamson have bother me that they put the model data directly in the Controller and not in a separate Model object. I will give them the benefit of the doubt to say that they did that to keep the code simpler for book sample code. However, I am interested in seeing high quality, organized, MVC code.
