What are the best Cocoa/Mac OS X programming blogs? One blog per answer please.

  • blog should be active (i.e. updated regularly and recently)
  • blog should have code-centric posts (although not all)

I subscribe to planet cocoa which aggregates some other cocoa blogs and I skim through that once in a while. It has a list of blogs it aggregates on its website and all of the above are included.

I really love listening to the

Late Night Cocoa

podcast. It's actually not a blog -- but isn't a podcast something like an audio blog? ;-)

close enough for me :)

And it's a shame, because the posts were so interesting. I love the one about NSArray performance, and several others taught me a lot about Cocoa.

Ridiculous Fish's author is a member of the cocoa frameworks team. It's definitely worth reading anything he posts.

Yes, I love Mike Ash's friday columns. A recent example: his four-part explanation of Grand Central Dispatch is excellent.

Will Shipley's blog Call Me Fishmeal. His "Pimp my code" series should be required reading for all Cocoa developers.

Barry Wark
But last post was long long time ago, I assume because he was working on his iPhone app ...
stefanB
But the point about the "Pimp My Code" is valid no matter when it was written

I have a bookmark for Mac DevCenter.

By the way, in my bookmark, I have folder for all my RRS. Under RRS, one folder for Cocoa/Objectiv-C. Then I use foxmarks to syn my bookmark at home and sync. Whenever I find out good Cocoa blogs I add them to my folder.

I like Theocacao for the theoretical aspects of Cocoa. But I enjoy reading practical examples from Cocoa With Love

The MDN Big Blog is a kind of meta-blog for Cocoa programmers: http://www.mac-developer-network.com/news/the-mdn-big-blog-is-now-free/

I've recently started a blog with the aim of collecting, organizing and linking to the greatest Cocoa resources on the net. Questions like this one is actually very helpful for building such a site, as all the suggestions here come from other Cocoa developers.
