I have an image I'm trying to make so I thought I'd share some of what I've found. Some of the classic tutorials are by the following artists:

Susie Oviatt
Hayley Wakenshaw
Joan Starks
Rowan Crawford
Targon (Ed Wisniewski)

These tutorials seem to be reposted all over the internet since they were originally posted to a news group in the 90's. Some of the sites that have them are:

Hello Random Number on the iPhone

Because what I really need to do is learn yet another programing language I'm taking an iPhone Development class at machine project with Chandler McWilliams as the instructor.

He recommended the book Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X and since fellow-student-Matthew Iadarola got it out of the Library we decided to give the first example a shot: the random number generator.

It had to be adapted some for the iPhone since this is not an iPhone book, but we got it done.

I posted the code for him, heavily commented here. I also uploaded the Buttons example from class b/c I reference it in my comments.

There are two versions, functionally virtually identical, but the UI layout in one is much more streamlined. It's all about design.
