Dear Raiyan,

I would suggest buying them all, and even then your going to have to figure
allot of out by yourself especially since most of them were out
out of date before they hit the presses. This is what's on my bookshelf.
In order of importance or value in my newbie opinion:
1. "Building Cocoa Applications A step by step guide" by Garfinkel & Mahoney O'Reilly ADC recommended.
2. " Cocoa IN A Nutshell" Oreilly ADC recommended.
3. " learning Cocoa" Oreily ADC..
4. " Inside Cocoa Object-Oriented Programming and the Objective-C Language ADC Developer connection
5. "Cocoa programming for Mac OS X" by Hillegass
6. "Cocoa programming" by Anguish Buck Yacktman
7. "Cocoa Recipes for Mac OSX The Vermont Recipes" by Cheeseman
8. "Mac OSX Advanced Development techniques" by Zobkiw

I like those books in that order. Some are pretty weak but it's the best we got.

My Idea of some publisher publishing a professional grade book. One updated as needed
consisting of a 3 ring binder that has replaceable pages has not got any attention.
My background is tax accounting and to keep up with a fast moving target like Cocoa
and OSX; you really need a Law library, Accounting Codes Library replaceable page style book. Online
ADC (Apple Developer Connection) provides this style of up to date information, but
it's tough to work with when your learning. If it were distilled into a comprehensive updated
paper text like I suggest above it would really be something. Give them 10 years and a light
will go on in some ones head. Until then it's a rough road!

Best of luck,

Brian Donofrio
