In my experience, Apple documentation is quite sufficient. There's a also
a number of on-line articles (www.stepwise.com, www.cocoadevcentral.com,
www.projectOmega.org,...) and some books. Search this very list -- there
was a number of threads about which book is the best (without a real
conclusion, of course ;)
I've seen in the documentation of the developers tools many references
to C/C++/Obj-C. Have i to learn how to use thoose three languages before
using Cocoa?
You have to learn Objective C (which means also plain C, for ObjC is its
superset). Keep clean of C++: it's a complicated mess whose knowledge
gains you nothing (but, of course, a wider perspective -- but in case you
are about to learn languages just for kicks, go learn Smalltalk instead).
In case you wanna write just simple things occassionally, you can stick
with AppleScript and ASS (well, the official abbreviation's ASK, but I don'
t see any 'K' in "Studio" ;))
