My understanding at the moment, is that Cocoa requires objective-C or

that correct?
I know none of these (C/C++/Java/Objective-C/Cocoa). And as for
WebObjects, I think I have a pretty good understanding of what it can
produce, but I have no idea where to start as far as learning it, or
what I need to know first.
Can anyone direct me to any learning materials that could teach me all
these skills.
May I humbly suggest you look over at O'Reilly's Mac DevCentral? The
beginnings of a series of articles I'm writing are there, and the
target audience is pretty much you.
The first article is here:

and the second one should be up very soon.
The basic idea is to get people from the point you're at: "I don't know
any language at all, but want to program" to a point where tackling
real Cocoa programs is feasible. Toward that end the series starts at
the very basics. Take a look; it might be what you need.
And, if you find yourself having problems figuring things out in
C/ObjC/etc, email me and there's a good chance I'll drop some solutions
into a future article!
