Well, Objective-C is mostly C with some extensions.
You'll need to know all the basic C functionality. If any of C is less
required in doing Cocoa programming it's the pointer math. Usually
there are objects to insulate you from directly manipulating arrays of
char and int and such.
However, it's something that does come up, and a basic understanding is
still important.
No reason you couldn't learn the C issues as you learned the other mind
you.

Hiyer,
I'm currently learning C before I get stuck into Objective-C and
Cocoa, and am just skimming this list in preperation - to see what's
going on.
And I'm wondering if C is used much in writing Cocoa applications? It
doesn't seem to be, from what I've read on here, or have I got the
wrong impression there?
How often, and how is C often used from within Objective-C and Cocoa,
if at all? Are there some things that lend themselves well to being
written in straight C, and other things that don't? Which sort of
things? Is it just a matter of preference and ends up being easier not
using C?
I know these are very broad questions but I'm just trying to get an
understanding of how C fits in generally with Obj-C and Cocoa.
