This is my first post here and I wanted to get some input from people doing iPhone development. Other than the Apple DevCenter, where are there good sites to learn iPhone developement?
I know Apple has a tough NDA but there has to be people talking about writing applications for the iPhone.
Pretty impressed with http://www.appsamuck.com/
A new iPhone app is written everyday, and listed on the site with source code and screen shots.
This site covers some of the basics with little regard for the NDA. Start at the bottom and work up.
this is probably a good place to start
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/
Craig Hockenberry (developer of Twitterrific) blogs about iPhone development issues at furbo.org
My friend suggested me this site edumobile which provides you with detailed information on iPhone development it is significantly a useful resource hope this will help you.
Apple now has developer forums, accessible to registered developers: https://devforums.apple.com
In http://www.raywenderlich.com/tutorials you will find a lots of good tutorials, and you will be up to date with new iOS features as soon as Apple release then.

What is the best way to go about adding a monthly subscription to the Apple Newsstand?
I am currently working with a site which deals with PDF subscriptions through Ubercart and we are now looking to support iPads through the Apple Newsstand. We would like pay as you go and full yearly subscriptions which would allow the user to download any previous issues for free.
How much work would this be? Do you need to make a bespoke app to do this or is there a straight forward way to do it?
The PDF would ideally show just as it is, we don't currently have any need to integrate rich media into it such as some of the more popular subscriptions out there currently do.
This is the best tutorial for the News Stand app
Here is the Link :

This is the video from the apple developer site explaining all about how the newsstand works. LINK
You should be able to find all your answers there.

I want to learn iphone programming.How can I learn please suggest some links or some books that I can start iphone programming.
There is an apple document "My First iphone Application". There are some of that turorials written by other people.
This starts with learning Objective-C. In page http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/navigation/ there is on the left side the topic "Getting started". Start there.
How you learn also depeneds on your software developper experience.
I learned it, by reading some hours (about 3) , then coding 2-3 hours, and reading again what I didnt understand. And so on.
You must find yourself the right balance between reading theory and coding.
You need an intel mac for developping: e.g mac mini, if you want to try out your programms on the iphone you need 99$ per year to get a Apple SW developper license.
This is the best place to start off with.. :)
Yeah, I started by watching the iTunes U lectures on iPhone development. Awesome stuff!

After looking through several related topics and web articles it seems many of them was written before IOS6 and the integration to Facebook.
What I'm looking to do it add a LIKE button within my application that the user can press which will then like our facebook page.
What is the best way to do this?
Facebook IOS SDK?
Facebook OpenGraph?
Is there any good up-to-date tutorials out there?
I've used the FacebookLikeView project with (initial) success. Unfortunately, my app was blocked, apparently due to triggering Facebook's spam detection during development and testing of the app (liking/unliking my own page a number of times). I haven't found a way around that problem, and it is something that others have seen too.
I personally think the Facebook SDK would be the best place to start. iOS6 implements a lot of functionality with Facebook, and frankly, after I was done reading through some of it, it did a lot that I had no idea it even could.
This tutorial helped a lot:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/tutorials/ios-sdk-tutorial/
But, perhaps this is more what you are looking for (?):

Hope this helps!

I have a question, I was wondering if it is professional to use jQuery mobile for a iPhone app? I mean, i just needed to create photo galleries and i used jQuery mobile, and then created a webview for it.
Is it OK to create an iPhone app this way? Or is it not professional? Thanks!
Everyone will have an opinion about whether it is professional or not... it all depends on how you deliver your final product.
If your app looks polished, performs well and adheres to the HIG guidelines, then yes, it could be acceptable.
If you however throw something together which looks bad, performs poorly and doesn't function, then don't bother. You'd likely not make it past the approval process.
Take a look at: http://www.jqmgallery.com/. Lots of people have used jQuery Mobile to produce really slick looking apps.
Ask the basic questions -
Can I maintain it easily
Can someone else maintain it easily
Does it work with my SCM
Does it meet the requirements - fast enough, no crashing, etc.
It's professional, as long as you use best practices, and write decent scripts.

I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to create interactive books for the iPad (such as the Alice in Wonderland and Dr. Seuss books currently available in the App Store)? I am looking at using Cocos2D which seems like it could be a good option. Thanks in advance!
If you want an intermediate solution (i.e. more than epub but less than cocos2d), try http://bakerframework.com/ It is an HTML5 ebook framework. The "book" portion is developed in HTML5 and the project includes an XCode app to compile the HTML5 into an app that manages page turns, etc. Project is BSD license.
cocos2d is definitely doable, have a look here. You could also use core animation depending on how interactive you want the book to be.
