I've been reading O'Reilly's "Learning Cocoa with Objective-C",

more of a learning experience to figure out how to adapt to the
differences.
Wrong book. Get Aaron Hillegass' Cooca, book, second edition. There
are other decent books, but unfortunately none of them are published
by O'Reilly or sponsored by ADC, and Aaron's is the only tutorial.
2. On page 296, the third exercise at the end of Chapter 15 says to
modify the example application "so that it reads its application
defaults from a .plist file contained as a resource in its
application bundle" rather than in ~/Library/Preferences. I can't
figure out how to do that.
Look at NSPropertyListSerialization and NSDictionary
dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:, and read Property List Programming
Guide for Cocoa - that's how to read a plist; it's not immediately
obvious how to hook this in with NSUserDefaults, but it's not exactly
hard, either. (Hint given rather than an explicit solution)
