Hello, a book recommendation request, and a question

Greetings,

I'm very new to Cocoa development...like today new, having just completed the Currency Conversion Tutorial that came with Apple's dev tools.. =)

I've been wanting to get back into programming for awhile now, and wanting to do what I can to support and get more people using OS X, so I've decided that Cocoa is the way I want to go, and now's the time to do it.

So, in order to avoid berating you with very stupid questions, and getting alot of RTFMs I'd like to get some opinions on what's are actually good and useful books for me to get. I'm looking at two books, currently, and was wondering if I should go with either, both, or some other book I haven't come across as yet. Specifically O'Reilly's "Learning Cocoa" and Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (by Aaron Hillegas). They get alot of nice words said about them on Amazon, but I figured I'd get a second opinion here as well. Would getting both of them be pointless, and if so, which would be the better reference in the long run?

And the other question, is there any place where there are some guidelines for secure coding in Cocoa? Would normal C guidelines be appropriate, or are there special things I need to be on the lookout for?

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely,

Stephen Winson
