1. What steps would you recommend a Mac developer take to go from Beginner (just read Hillegass) to Intermediate?

    In addition to that, what are the best ways to support your mac apps' userbase?

    Develop an application and release it in some form. It doesn’t have to be the next earth-changing application by any stretch of the imagination, but whatever you do try and find something you want to use yourself. That’s the easiest way to push your knowledge: if you can’t figure out a way to do what you want, you’re more motivated to learn how. My iPhone app is exactly that: scratching my own itch to build something I want to use.

    As for the support? Always try to answer this question: “If I were using my app, what support would I want to see?”

    If you’ve got a question you want to ask, fire away. All previous questions are tagged Ask for your viewing pleasure.
