This list is also that place. A lot of n00b questions get answered 
here...when they get asked. But since it is a big community full of 
experienced users and developers, there is also a lot of advanced talk. 
I agree that at least half the stuff that goes on here belongs on the PD 
dev list.

My suggestions:

1) Start with a project-oriented goal (i.e. building an audio mixer, a 
sound granulator, a monosynth, a VJ tool, etc) and start building. 
You'll figure out some questions pretty quick!

2) Use the search interface to read up on topics/problems that you are 
interested in:

3) If you can't find what you're looking for in the archives, post here 
and you'll probably have an answer in less than 24 hours. Sometimes less 
than 5 minutes! ;-)

4) If you still feel like you are in over your head, there is a forum 
which looks to be a bit less "programmer-oriented" here:

Good luck!
