Then I would try to have the patience to take some time to learn plain C first before you dive into Cocoa, it will definitely make things easier...

I agree, on both counts. None of the Cocoa books that I'm aware of will teach you the fundamentals of programming. Most of them assume a basic level of C knowledge, and build upon that.

There's a pretty good article at Cocoa Dev Center, that lists several books and links to free online C tutorials.
