I can suggest three resources, two free and one commercial.
People often forget that REAL Software has a REALbasic curriculum
designed for students:
http://www.realsoftware.com/users/education/curriculum/
There's also my dated but still helpful for beginners REALbasic
University series:
http://www.applelinks.com/rbu/archive.shtml
BTW: I'm working on an update to this series! :-)
And finally, another good resource is REALbasic Developer magazine.
We sell all our previously published issues (in both print and PDF)
and students can get everything at 50% off, so it's a great way to
get a ton of educational material for not a lot of money:
http://www.rbdeveloper.com/orders.shtml
(See the Academic choices on the navigation bar on the left side.)
Not all of the RBD material is geared toward students, of course, but
it does give a student a good upgrade path as he (or she) learns to
tackle more advanced topics. It's also inspiring to see what others
are doing with RB via our postmortems, interviews, and previews.
Feel free to write me off list if you have questions.
