My question is, what am I missing by not reading any books about Cocoa? Unlike Evan, I am self taught... I just use the scarce documentation and any resources I can find... and I program, program, program... I do various mini-apps to figure out how things work.

I'd say you're using more time, and possibly missing something that might be pretty obvious if you read a book.

When you read a book, you get at least a general overview of what someone thinks is the high points. When you figure it out by trial and error, it takes quite a while to be sure that there isn't something important that you just haven't bumped into yet.

In the long run, it probably comes out about the same. The approach you pick depends on whether you are learning it to write programs, or writing programs in order to learn it.
