I understand that we certainly can pull it off with the native core (ObjC/cTouch) but always wondered if all those "insanely great looking" apps took the pain of skinning all the controls, coming up with their own look and feel of everything the core provides and extending them, or is there a framework (library or something) that makes it easy to pull these off with a fairly decent effort?...that was my question.
Then you can watch a few of the videos that kind of gives you a hands-on feeling since some of the drag/drop, ctrl-drag are something to see rather than to read and keep in mind. Rory Lewis and AzamSharp videos helped me a lot while Ray Wenderlich book gave some nice step-by-step instructions.
Armed with these you basically should start a real project of yours so you can learn things on the fly and those would last in your memory longer than any tutorials. Good luck! Believe me....it's hard but not crazy.
