Ask HN: Best paid iOS dev tutorials?

Hi guys,

I'm currently learning a bit of iOS development and I'm enjoying following video tutorials wherever I can find them.

I think its best if I follow some course or arrangement rather than freestyle on my own, as I find myself wondering what to do next after each session.

Does anyone know of any awesome sites or have reviews? I'm a noob programmer, but I've caught up with enough C/Objective-C reading to be comfortable. So far I've been using tutsplus.com (awesome, free) to learn about Xcode & IB.

I've also heard of: - DiveIntoiOS.com - $199, a bit pricey for me - Lynda.com - $25/month - Various courses on udemy.com ranging from $25 to $250

Any recommendations appreciated. Thanks

My girlfriend (non-coder, but she's done Matlab before) tried out Ray's free tutorial when you sign up for the newsletter because she wanted to try making an iPhone game. She really enjoyed the tutorial, and it had everything that she needed to understand the topic, and the screenshots covered what to click on in Xcode. She didn't ask me anything related to the tutorial, which I think really speaks to the quality of the tutorials.
