Tutorial Suggestion: Retrieve table items from remote XML file

Tutorials so far are a great resource.  I'd suggest keeping with the same style.  Might be good to have a “project goal” and then draw tutorials from that.  So if your project goal is to make something like a Movie database, then little pieces of it can be made into tutorials.

The next thing I'd like to see is how to programmatically retrieve an XML file from some remote site and then use the data to create a hierarchical table view. 

Keep up the good work!

GNUMatrix,

I have had other requests for such a tutorial and can assure you it is in the works.  My next tutorial (due out  sometime tomorrow) will detail how to populate a UITableView with an array of objects.  It wouldn't take much more to show how to populate this array with and XML feed.

Thanks for registering for the forums.

Sounds great!

I think if you can keep the tutorials nice and concise and continually build off of previous tutorials, you'll end up with a much larger audience.  It is very hard to jump into a random tutorial when you have no idea how they got there in the first place. 

I'm sure I'm like lots of other developers out there who have been programmers for years (decades in my case) but running up against the little stuff getting started with xcode and iPhone development. It's as if I can run a marathon without any problem, but can't seem to get my shoelaces tied….

Yea,

I have found that developing for the iPhone is unlike anything I have ever seen.  I have been programming for about 7 years now and it has never taken me this long to pick up a language/platform.

I do intend on building from previous tutorials and keeping many of them simple in the beginning.

Even you guys with years of experience faced problem with iphone programming. I thought I am the only one struggling. Currently there are not a lot of iPhone programming books out there and we have to rely heavily on Apple's iPhone documentation. I realised for every statement in the code, I have to refer to the API for explaination.

I agree with GNUMatrix about the project goal thing. It helps to keep all the tutorials in place.
