While K&R is certainly the gold standard reference, I wouldn't
recommend it as the book to learn the language. Kochan's "Programming
in Objective-C" as noted by Rob Keniger is a much better introduction
to what you'll need for programming on a Mac. After that one, I
recommend Aaron Hillegass's "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" which was
recently discussed on this list. It assumes a background in C or
Objective-C, but is the best book for learning Cocoa.
