Stephen,
I would recommend learning C first, because Objective-C simply Object-Oriented extensions to C (correct me if the syntax of that statement was wrong, someone?).
Until you get a firm grasp on OOP and C, don't use Learning Cocoa. I learned that the *hard* way.
As for learning the OOP paradigm, I found the "Using Java 1.2" black book very helpful (although somewhat expensive) -- helpful only in learning O-O concepts (the first few chapters). There may be other sources, someone else chime in here please :)

Good luck,
Chris Garaffa

Can anyone make any suggestions on the best way of learning to program for the Mac.

I am fairly new to programming on the Mac. I have very limited programming experiences

My history of programming consists of Turbo Pascal, Turing and Q-basic on the PC.

It has been sometime. I am very eager to get back into programming though.

OOP is new to me. Are there any books on Objective C that anyone can recommend? I definately would like to program for Cocoa.

Thanks.
