Jonathan,

perhaps a slight explanation is in order:

All the sites I've seen, including Apple's, will be happy to teach you
Objective-C for Cocoa ("*assumes previous knowledge of the C Programming
language"). See, it's that last little asterix...

When it says this, it means more the general syntax layout and procedural programming than C itself. I personally feel that Obj-C is different enough to C programming to not really warrant that clause at all. Maybe just "assumes previous knowledge of procedural programming"

Get a nice Cocoa book (I like Hillegass' one a *lot*), and use the C
book you have now to reference with if there is something unexplained.
I don't feel you need to learn C.

What you need to know is the C *programming language*, which is plain enough. You do not, though, need to learn its *standard libraries* (stuff like printf, scanf, strcpy, ...).


Incidentally, the tutorial from Cocoadevcentral recommended by Kevin looks very good. Myself, I would take a shortcut here or there (forget #include, use #import; forget printf, use NSLog...) and I would rather not presume the reader knows PHP, but who knows: perhaps you do :) Still, even if you don't do PHP, the thing is worth reading. And quite probably might spare you the experience with your C book :)
