And from Chapter One, no less:

“What is an object? An object is like a C struct ...”.

At this point, I realized I would indeed need to go back to my beginner’s C
tome.


So here’s my point. C really isn’t used in Cocoa and you only need the
concepts, so you probably shouldn’t learn C. But if you don’t learn C, you
can’t learn Cocoa, because it assumes a knowledge of C.

Hey Jonathan,

Try reading Stephen Kochan's Programming in Objective-C. It does not assume any prior experience in any programming language whatsoever, and covers the necessities such as "What are objects?" (and also aspects of C which are useful and relevant to Objective-C). It will get you familiar with the language itself, and then learning Cocoa would be a great next step..

If you want to know more about C itself, the same author has also written a great book on that as well.

It's available on O'Reilly's Safari for you :)
