If you're talking about, say, learning how to put a window on screen, then yes, Cocoa is easier, but as a general statement, sorry, that's just silly. Cocoa is a "superset" of C, so there's no way it could be easier.

I'm was guilty of doing one of the things I'm trying to bitch about, being too cryptic; what I mean by my statement is that much of standard C is of little use to a Cocoa programmer, especially in the beginning. Structs, for example. If there were a book that taught Cocoa and the parts of C needed, _as_ they are needed, it would be a big boost to the beginner. This I believe. And thanks for taking the time to respond, and agreeing to some of my thought on this subject.
