The fuzzy aspects of Cocoa -or- C-programs crammed into objective-C jackets

Hi there,

I have a question for all you seasoned cocoa programmers out there... Are there any good guides to the more fuzzy aspects of programming Cocoa? What I mean is that there are plenty of intro's to how to use Cocoa, what you can do... etc... But what I'm missing is the why... What are the common practices... Often you can accomplish the same thing with a notification as a delegate object but when is the right time to use a notification vs. a delegate... or, as another person recently posted, why use exceptions rather than return codes... ?

It's easy to write a program that works... I want to know if anyone has tips / a guide on how to write elegant programs in cocoa... How to write cocoa apps in a characteristically cocoa way... and not in a C-program crammed into an objective-C mold type of way.

I'd love to hear any thoughts, tips, links... etc...

Jay
