Carbon vs Cocoa arguments

Hello,

I'm very new to programming.
I've never code in C or anything else, but I wanna begin to learn
C and Cocoa. And I do that with a friend. But he irritates me about Carbon.
I don't wanna touch Carbon. Carbon is great to port application from OS 9
but it's not as good as Cocoa...
But for me, as I know nothing about programming, it's just a feeling...
I say to my friend + look, carbon app are not as beautif as Cocoa, and they're slower etc...;
and he respond that Carbon is evolving (that is true, like the new Drawer.h etc),
and will be the major API for OS X.
Some of other of theirs arguments that no big software company haven't already port an app
in Cocoa, just because Carbon's code is nearer the Windows'app code(that is in some case true) and they'll
never do a completely different code for a really smaller market etc etc...
He takes the example of Microsoft and Adobe. But for me, Photoshop, Illustrator etc... and Office X
are not great at all on OS X. I don't feel them good in OS X. Slow... ugly (OS X is for me just a make up on
Office 2001)

Where can i found documentation that compares Carbon and Cocoa up to the smallest level in the system
integration... I want to prove him that Cocoa is better with something else that my feelings.
