Feedback on Apple instruments tool - xcode-instruments

I was wondering if there are some video tutorials on using the instruments tool and / or good step by step tutorials with good illustrations.

Apple has published the Instruments User Guide. It is accessible within the iPhone Developer Page: Instruments User Guide:Instruments Quick Start

List of iphone programming websites

Please put the great sites for learning objective c, essential things to iphone apps, UI codings like this with examples and codings....
Thanks....
I would recommend downloading the Stanford University videos using iTunesU in iTunes. Very informative and the course data and downloads are still available on Stanford's website.
The course page is here http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/drupal/
The videos are free in iTunes.
Apple's iOS Dev Center may be the most useful online all-in-one resource that you can find.
They provide coding how-to's, getting started videos, sample code, and other such general resources, combined with all of the technical knowledge (SDKs, reference libraries, etc.) that you'll eventually need.
In the very beginning I used resources from the Stanford University videos and then read some of the official iOS guides and references. Then I started working on an app project and tailored my learning around that. It's very difficult to learn all of iOS programming in one go without working on a project because the API is a lot to digest.
Once you've learned some of the iOS programming lingo, I would go ahead and use stackoverflow and the official developer forums to search for specific examples and solutions to the problem you are having while building your app.
Learn by doing!
Video tutorials are a good way to learn objective C. But i would suggest that at a initial stage it can help you but when you go deeper inside into programming want to play with objective C you should opt some time to look into the Apples Documentation. Apple's Documentation provides everything .
Dont miss thier Sample Code also.

Where can I find sample code for integrating iAds within my application?

I'm just starting to learn how to integrate iAds within my application. I have read all of the documentation on this provided by Apple, but I still have some questions about the process. Is there any sample code or better documentation out there that shows how to place iAds within an application?
I doubt you'll find any public sample code for this until Apple lifts the NDA on iOS 4, and even then it might take a while.
In the meantime, you should watch Session 112 - Integrating Ads with iAd from the freely available WWDC 2010 videos.

Are there any examples for how to integrate iAds into an application?

I'm looking for sample code or tutorials on how to implement iAds in my iPhone application. Can anyone guide me to any resources about this?
The iAd Programming Guide has detailed information on implementation.
In Interface Builder just drag and drop your ad into the window. In Xcode, right click on your frameworks folder and add the iAd.framework. It's really that simple.
For more advanced things, like hiding and rotating ads, you could start with the WWDC session videos if you're a registered developer. If you're not, get an account because it's a very nice program and you need it to get your apps published.
The session 112 video is a step-by-step, I used it to get my own iAds running, but otherwise try this link iAds. You still need a developer account.

Iphone Developer Program

Well im on the edge about paying $99 dollars to join the Iphone Developer Program, I have the sdk, but im wondering if the program comes with programming lessons or tutorials,
If it doesnt do any of you know where i can learn to make game with opengl es for the iphone/ipod touch??
So my main question is where can i get some good tutorials on programming games/apps for the iphone and ipod touch, and does the Iphone Developer Program come with good lessons on how to program?
Thank You

Paying the $99 does not give you any additional content or lessons. You already have access to the Apple-supplied sample code. The SDK only provides the ability to test your application on actual hardware, and it allows you to submit applications to the App Store.
The best place to go for beginning tutorials is the Stanford CS193P course which is available online through iTunesU. I would download all this content soon, as it is not guaranteed to be available when the next term starts.
Other than that, I would Google the exact terms that you had in your question: "Open GL ES" "iPhone" "cocoa touch tutorial" There's a ton of content available.
To the resources available with iPhone Dev Package: Yes, there are many resources availible to you as a developer.
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/
There are so many developer tutorials on the net, I think that stanford even released the lessons as videos for free in itunes.
Of course, it depends why you are getting into it. Apple just released facts that there are 100,000 developers, with >60,000 apps in the store. If you are doing it for fun, or to learn something new, then great. If you want to get rich creating fart apps, your time has passed.
There is lots of book available for iPhone development program.

iPhone (Xcode) interface builder resources

I am looking for resources (especially video) to show how to use Xcode's interface builder properly for iPhone development. For some reason it just doesn't click how everything fits together and how this should be used properly.
Thanks

Aside from the example apps and videos on Apple's iPhone Dev Center, Pragmatic Programmers have a good book and some decent videos as well.
Another site is iPhone Programming Tutorial. It's free, but I am considering buying the videos and book mentioned by Abie.
Edit: Decided to look through my history and found this dead link.
