Well, it's true that you don't need to know C to get started, I think
an understanding of it is crucial to making real headway.
The real trick is knowing which parts of C you need to know (syntax,
structs, *'s, & thingies, preprocessor, and what not) and what you
don't need to know (a lot of the standard library--most of which is
replaced by nice things in Cocoa, but a bit of which is still useful to
know).
Stephen Kochan's book, "Programming in Objective-C", hits these kind of
things while at the same time introducing the language which is nice as
all the previous intro Cocoa books (mine included) have just said "Know
C". I've only skimmed Stephen's book so far, but it looks pretty
decent.
Apple's Cocoa docs are much better than they were, and we're striving
to make them better every day.
Also, having this nice set of docs at your fingertips while coding in
Xcode (via the documentation viewer) is a great boon.
