| Alright, let me begin by apologizing for the harshness of my original post. I'd like to point out however that my anger came from an appreciation for this site and a fear that it's quality may be decreasing. The original articles that were once published here got me hooked, they were several pages long and dealt with problems several of us had and things many of us wanted to do. However, I honestly saw no need for another "this is a variable this is a loop" article. The web is literally full of hundreds of these explanations and its simple not worth the effort to come out with another series of these, at least in my opinion. My frustration came from the fact that I look forward to these articles (I visit this site at least every day) and to have it be something that is lasrgely superficial and "yesterday's news" is a bit disappointing. Typing "cocoa one line browser" into google yields three distinct versions of this just quickly looking through, of which one is from Cocoa Dev Central which many of the people here probably visit as well. With this example in such abundance I would expect it to be a link on this site at the most. Now, this is "part 1" so I may be jumping the gun. This is just the impression I am getting and I am sorry if I offended anyone. I honestly didn't want to make anyone angry, I own quite a bit of Oreilly books and love them. I would also like to offer my services if it is true that many here are under time/money constraints since this is one of the few living mac dev sites and I don't want to see it die or go down. Here is the first of my own series of tutorials I have begun and would be more than willing to contribute to this site instead of the one I'm currently writing for: http://members.macteens.net/francisco/tutorials/ . | ||

In general, I hope we're to the point where we agree to tolerate a little diversity in our articles, ranging from beginning developer to advanced programmer, plus news, commentary, and for god sakes some fun. I think we publish enough content on Mac DevCenter to accommodate these different levels.
That being said, I do want contributions from advanced programmers (always have), and I want them to show off their stuff right here. Send me your ideas in the body of an email, and I will get back to you. Almost every article I publish starts this way.
As for my part, I will continue to look for writers who have the time to produce advanced articles. As you guys know, the people who can do this are some of the busiest in the world. I'll do my best to cajole work out of them. But it's a team effort here, and I need your help.
