I am new to OSX development, heck I just purchased my first Mac last week. I am interested in programming Cocoa apps for OSX, and I have the latest Xcode from Panther. I need a kick start guide, because I don't know the first thing about using it. I come from a UI design and Flash programming background. I don't know too much about OO, except that Flash is moving that way recently and I have begun to take the leap. Can anyone point me to some useful information on getting started? I also want to know some specifics about the different languages/frameworks. From what I understand:

Carbon is mostly used as a migration path from OS9 and previous apps. I don't need to use it if this is the predominate case.

Cocoa is for developing OSX native apps.

Objective C and Java are used in different areas. This is where I get boggled. Are apps programmed using a combo of cocoa and java (for instance) or are entire apps done in cocoa? I hear AppleScript can make full featured programs, but i assume that since it is a scripting language and not compiled that it is slower once your application gets larger.

Thanks for all your help sorting this out for me.
