Does this mean the WWDC NDA is gone?

So when working with foundation in xcode 4

code:
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
is replaced by
code:
@Autoreleaspool;
?
This is only if ARC is enabled, which it is for new Xcode 4 projects. It can be disabled.

Do you have the iOS 3 SDK installed?

Keep reading the book. You'll learn about AutoRelease soon enough. Not that this stuff is important for much longer.

Many developers love their Airs for development. The only complaint is screen resolution, but that's why you can hook it up to an external monitor.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer already but is there no way to program for iOS on a Windows machine?
I saw this on Hacker News earlier this week: http://www.macincloud.com/ I haven't ever used them. Good luck with on-device testing.

But if you do make a decent profit from your iOS apps, you really should buy a Mac Mini or a MacBook Air.

If you're only tinkering, I recommend sticking to one platform so you can focus on game development rather than the differences of the platforms.

If C++ is "like running a chain saw with all the safety guards removed", Objective-C++ must be like trying to juggle that chain saw.

A friend of mine did the Big Nerd Ranch course for Cocoa Programming. While it is re-hashing the book (which you get to keep a copy of), they do it at an accelerated pace, you meet and talk to other Cocoa programmers, and they cover everything but airfare. He thought it was well worth it.

It's out of date since iOS 6 is out. Given your experience, try Apple's online documentation first and then see if you need a book or not.

Wait what? Your Mini is bricked?
The iOS beta expired yesterday. When a beta expires, it locks the devices and renders it unusable until either a new beta or gold master is installed.

Lesson: don't install betas on production or personal-use devices.

Just to be sure, if I want to write a little app for myself that serves as a private tracking beacon and run it on (pretty much) only my iPhone, my only option is a developer account, correct?

Or use Find My iPhone.

I doubt MFi matters in your circumstance. It largely depends on how you manage your audio session. Apple's starting point for AV can point you in the right direction. Stick to the higher level frameworks whenever you can.

You should try applying for a job just to see how far your accomplishments have actually gotten you.
