I agree about the documentation. I see others have posted good suggestions
so all just add a little bit.
Developer/Examples/AppKit has some decent stuff, especially Sketch and
TextEdit.
Look for high level patterns that match what you know. I.e.:
Virtual classes -> class clusters
static -> +
Interface multiple inheritance (Java) -> protocol
Method multiple inheritance (C++) -> forwarding
Memory management -> ref counted smart pointers
Message centers -> PowerPlant
Delegation -> PowerPlant a little but Cocoa uses it a lot more
