I'm a newbie with very little programing experience. HTML is about

anyone would please point me to a couple good books for beginning
Cocoa?
Wanting to get some pointers before shelling out $50 for a book.
First, any good book on C. For example, "Learn C on the Macintosh"
is pretty good, and since everything except the last chapter is
straight ANSI C, it's still valid for today's Macs. It's a little
dated now, but that means you can probably pick up a cheap copy
somewhere.
Then Aaron Hillegass' Cocoa-programming book, "Cocoa Programming for
Mac OS X". When that doesn't cut the mustard, have a peek at Apple's
Objective C PDF on the
http://www.apple.com/developer web site.
You can easily get through Hillegass' book in a day. The ObjC PDF
shouldn't be much worse, and the Dave Mark book took a little longer,
but then it tries to teach you the programming basics, so that is to
be expected.
NB - I have to admit I only got the Kernighan & Ritchie book a year
ago, so I can't tell whether it would have been a good tutorial for a
beginner, but from a cursory glance at it, I'd say it's better as a
reference book than as a tutorial.
