So here’s my point. C really isn’t used in Cocoa and you only need the
concepts, so you probably shouldn’t learn C. But if you don’t learn C, you
can’t learn Cocoa, because it assumes a knowledge of C.


mmalc already pointed someone (you perhaps) to Programming in Objective-C (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0672325861) which makes no assumption that you know C. I've not read it, but the reviews are excellent.

C is used in Cocoa. You don't need to be familiar with the C library routines perhaps, but you do need to be aware of how loops, variables, pointers, etc.. work.

Objective-C is just an extension to C.

But Cocoa isn't Objective-C (the language). Obj-C is what the frameworks are written in. There are many C API (Spotlight, Core Foundation, as well as others) that you may need to use as well. _______________________________________________
