If you're really new to programming, I would start with a book about
the C language, since Objective-C (the language of Cocoa) is largely
based on C. One of the standards is "C Programming Language" by
Kernighan & Ritchie, though I'm not sure if this is the best book to
start with... but there's sample pages on Amazon and you should find
the book in any decent bookstore, just have a look at it....
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... (and yes it might be hard to spend weeks doing text-only
command line stuff when you want to do cool Mac apps with a nice GUI,
but it's sure worth the effort)
cheers
