iDevRecipes is an awesome site that goes into some detail on how some popular and specific iPhone components have been developed. I was wondering if the SO crew knew of any other sites similar to this? It would be a great help to all iOS developers.
I stumbled across Custom Controls for iOS last night and it looks like there are links to the source code for at least a few of the custom controls on iDev Recipes, and there are some plenty more custom controls not featured on the recipes site. I guess it's not necessarily as pedagogical as the recipes website, but you can still browse the source code which is definitely a great way to learn about making your own custom controls.

I've been using my iphone to surf the internet a couple of times, and I've noticed that some websites had some plugins on their site, I've been trying to find these for my own website but couldn't find them.
The plugin I'm interested in is kind of a 'Coverflow' effect,
it's completely based on the touch screen, and looked about the same on every site I've seen it on. that's why I'm assuming it's a.. built in plugin or something like that.
I've also noticed that these sites have an iphone styled toolbar and menus, well I'd be grateful if you could help me find that plugin,
Would also be nice if you could explain about it a little or show me more plugins that are available out there for the iPhone's safari
I don't know about any plugin in Mobile Safari, but you can use some Frameworks to build apps with touch-events. For example:
http://jqtouch.com/
http://www.sencha.com/products/touch/
These frameworks often offer much features, which you can use to let your web app look like a normal iPhone-App.
First of all I'm totally not advertising for this app or for this team.
I came a cross to their apps and I noticed that all their apps are using the same interface.
But what wondered me are these inside the apps are a special design websites inside their apps or what? because I'm interested how did they make it.

By the way, I'm a Objective-c beginner and still learning.
It's hard to say what they do. It's easier to say what they could do.
They could be using a custom view and drawing things themselves. Or they could be rendering the text (quoted law) to an HTML string and loading that string into a WebView, linked with a stylesheet.
Instead of starting from scratch, I was wondering if there were any ready made iPhone functionality for presenting a store's item lists (small picture and main info) and detail pages (all images and full info).
All data is already stored in an online database and setting up Web Services or the like for communication is not a problem, but iPhone development experience is limited.
Do you know of anything of that nature that I might utilize?
Sounds like the perfect opportunity to develop a web application specifically for the iPhone. I can't remember the name of the book off the top of my head, but do know that it's offered by O'Reilly. The other upside is you will now have an app that's accessible by other devices also.
Here's the book, it even includes the hooks to interface natively to the iPhone.
A good place to start is looking through some of the code examples available at Apple's iOS developer site. I believe there is a 'Recipe List' example that might be similar to what you are looking to do. Hope that helps!
I'm attempting to use TTLauncherView from the Facebook Three20 project in my app, but I'm not having much luck (I'm a bit of a newbie at this). Does anyone have any good tutorials at using it that I could read?
FYI basically I need to pull images that a user chooses from the iPhone camera album, and display them as icons that when pressed lead to another view.
Thanks.
you can start studying TTCatalog sample project that comes with three20 library.
Right now I'm working with a improved version of the three20 made by Rodrigo Mazzilli, you can find it here (http://github.com/rodmaz/three20).
rodmaz's version is a fork from the original project and it comes with some improvements, specially in TTLauncherView. It has a new class called TTLauncherViewController which is easier to use, take a look at his demo project TTCatalog.
http:// three20.info/ is a good collaborative site with some tutorials, but it doesn't have much information about TTLauncherView at this moment.
Finally, you should join three20's google group at http:// groups.google.com/group/three20 where you find hundreds of developers using this library.

I want to build an application that gets updates from online websites like Twitter or Facebook. Currently, I haven't even got a clue on how to do this.
Also, in certain applications, like Doodle Jump, I have seen updates that pop up. Some other applications have a news section that gets updated often. How is it done? Any tutorial or working code will be very helpful.
There is a good tutorial I used to do this with ASP.NET.
I'm going to guess that you are interested in building an iPhone app. I don't know if you have any experience working with objective-c or the iPhone SDK, but here is a nice tutorial that touches on some of the concepts you will need.
