I’m starting to learn Xcode, and I’m finding more resources that use Xcode 3 than 4 when explaining concepts.
Does Xcode 3 have advantages over 4, or why are there so many more resources available for the former?

If you are just starting to learn Xcode, learn Xcode 4. The most recent versions of the iOS platform will only be available bundled with Xcode 4, so unless you want to cut yourself off from using the latest versions of the iOS platform (5+), there’s really no choice. There are a number of flaws and limitations of 4 that are not present in 3, and many people use both, but for a new developer it’s not worth the effort to learn two versions of the software. Just use 4, and wait for the support to improve.
