I see I'm going to have to don my flameproof suit.
Right now, if you are not familiar with OO at all and are limited to readily
available books there is really only one way to do it without a lot of
backtracking. Go get a good, Object Oriented C++ book like "Accelerated C++"
Work all the exercises in ObjC. This will be easier than it sounds. There
are a couple of wrinkles but folks on this list will help.
The problem with "Learning Cocoa" is that the author(s) think in C. It will
teach you that OO is only for accessing the Cocoa frameworks. This won't
hurt if you are coming from an OO background but nobody should do this to a
newbie.
