The airon Heilglass book comes highly recommended by most parties (although
I can't say I've ever read it). A lot of people dislike apple's "Learning
Cocoa" book, personally, I think it's quite good, but I havn't read the
competition.
As far as I know, cocoa is faster than carbon because OS X is designed to
use Cocoa and has to be bent around corners to make it do carbon.
However... cocoa is about 10x easier to write than carbon and is certainly a
lot more enjoyable to do. OpenGL is very quick under cocoa - I'm in the
middle of writing a couple of GL apps in cocoa at the moment.
In short... yes, use cocoa... it's great :D
