Thanks Troy & George, I have downloaded the SQLiteQuery sample code from the Developer site and have been working through trying to wrap my head around it.
I was more looking for a run through tutorial/guide to get me started, having never produced anything with X-Code before, it can be quite daunting. It would also appear that things are done slightly differently when producing a plugin for Quartz rather than a standalone application. Also a good explanation of like time modes, threading etc would be great. I'll stick with the sample code and pdf's provided on the Developer site, and see what I come up with!
