Hi,
I just recently decided to start developing on Mac so I am wondering where I
should start. Is there a book I could buy (Learning Cocoa w/ Obj-C maybe?)? Or
maybe a tutorial?


First, there are some excellent documents on your disk in /Developer/Documentation/Cocoa. Start with CocoaTopics.html and start at "Getting started".

On the net there are a lot of resources, such as http://www.stepwise.com to show you the way.

And there is a very good Cocoa Programming for MacOSX book by Hillegass.

If you do not know C, any C tutorial book will do (for Cocoa no C++ is required, and only basic C).

That should do for a week or so :-)

Also, I heard that Cocoa is slower than using Carbon? I am planning on maybe
making a simple 3D Game using OpenGL do I use Cocoa for this?



Since you will be using OpenGL for drawing, there is no reason not to use Cocoa for the rest, since drawing will probably be the speed bottleneck. Just use Cocoa and enjoy :-)
