Learning Mac programming

Actually...

My previous posts were trying to find an employer who would hire me as a trainee programmer and teach me the ropes. It seems that's too far fetched an idea. So let's say instead that I just start from scratch and teach myself (or find an appropriate teacher) programming the Mac. From what I understand of it all, I'd really like to learn Cocoa, and WebObjects.

My understanding at the moment, is that Cocoa requires objective-C or Java. I've seen a few books etc. on objective C and Cocoa, but it seems they require a good understanding of C or C++ first. Is all 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. I realise there's a lot to learn, but I'm willing to put in the time and effort if I can find the right teaching materials/people. (The only thing I don't have a lot of to put in is $$, but that may only be a short term problem).

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Regards,
David Thorp.
