It sounds like you are all set for books. Personally, I believe you may end
up getting most of your information on the Internet. There are many good
websites, and perhaps recommendations of great websites would be a good
topic for discussion here if it has not been done recently. While you are
out there surfing the Internet, I recommend researching Smalltalk if you
haven't already. Cocoa's object model and commonly used paradigms are
derived from Smalltalk, and getting a grok on those things will be
important.
