With all this talk of which language to learn first, second, and never,

At one time, it was the 'bible' of C programming. Is it still as
important in the Cocoa world?

K & R will always be relevant as long as 'C' is still around. And 'C' isn'
t going anywhere ;o)
I'm sure that most of us are not willing to surrender 'C' just yet :^)
Since Cocoa is OS X development only, and there are plenty of 8.x & 9.x
machines to program for, 'C' (along with C++, Carbon and even some Pascal)
will be around for quite a while.
You say that as if Obj-C weren't based on C. All of the info in K&R
still applies to objective-C
