"Learning Cocoa"
Basically what we have now, an introduction to using Cocoa. Small book
that gets readers up to speed on the fundamentals, if not the specifics.
"Advanced Cocoa Programming"
A comprehensive book that basically covers the ENTIRE Cocoa framework.
The Petzold of Cocoa. Likely 1000+ pages full of sample code, good
descriptions, very casual and approachable text, etc.
Actually, I would argue that the "Learning Cocoa" should be a LOT more
like the Petzold book (or "Pretzel" book as we like to call it). VERY
approachable, LOTS of nice bits that I think are pretty easy to
comprehend (plus some weird, if useful, LITTLE programs that illustrate
his points). My personal feeling is that LARGE programs do nothing but
confuse. But perhaps that is how my brain works. <grin>
