However, bouncing from 3.2 to 3.0 and even occasionally 2.x, I frequently get deprecated warnings involving methods that have changed or been superseded: warning: 'UIKeyboardBoundsUserInfoKey' is deprecated. Since I still want to maintai...

I've checked out Apple's Quick Look Programming Guide: Introduction to Quick Look page in the Mac Dev Center, but as a more of a science programmer rather than an Apple programmer, it is a little over my head (but I could get through it in a weekend if I bash my head against it long enough). Does anyone know of a good basic Quick Look G...
