I am reading:
Cocoa Programming
by Scott Anguish (Author), Erik Buck (Author), Donald Yacktman (Author)
and it is filling in a lot of the gaps for me.

Hey all,
I'm new to Mac development, and I have an easy couple of questions. I
have gone through a number of the dev tutorials, read a bunch of the
info on Apple's web sites about Cocoa and Carbon, and developing on
Mac OS X. But I am finding it a bit difficult to find definite
information on what technology to use to do what. I have several
specific things I am looking to develop, but I'm not sure whether to
use Cocoa, or Carbon, or something else. For example, if I want to do
low level file I/O, networking, or develop a backup and restore
product for Mac OS X, can I do this with Cocoa and Carbon, or just one
but not the other? When to use what seems to be a bit confusing, and
where to get detailed information on how the filesystem works for
example seems a little hard to locate too.
Also, I am not finding the API reference to be, well, very
hierarchical in nature. Perhaps I'm jaded for having used Java in
addition to other languages over the past number of years, and so I've
grown accustomed to API docs that are fairly hierarchical and nature
and group classes with common behavior into package namespaces.
Anyway, I'm focussing on Objective-C, C/C++ development for the Mac,
so I am looking for the best API reference.
Finally, I am trying to determine where the best resources are to get
support and discuss technical issues with other developers -- I
presume these mailing lists are some, but if there are others, I'd
love to hear!
Thanks! Hope to be delivering my first Mac software soon..... :-)
