Hi Brad!

My name is Brad Bumgarner and I am new to Objective-C. I have been
using AppleScript since it was first introduced many (many) "moons"
ago. I have been using Project Builder / Xcode since OS X 10.2. I
have recently decided to step up to using Objective-C so that I may
add features to my apps that I can't do (the way I'd like to) in
AppleScript Studio. The scary thing is Objective-C is actually
starting to make sense :-)
I can't tell you much about Address Book (since I never used it in my
projects) but I can recommend two books for learning Cocoa/ObjC:
Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X
by Aaron Hillegass
http://www.bignerdranch.com/products/cocoa1.shtml
and
Cocoa Programming
by Scott Anguish, Erik Buck, Donald Yacktman
http://www.samspublishing.com/title/0672322307
I found these two books very helpful. Especially the first provides
many examples and is more kind of a lecture than a documentation. If
you have finished the book by Hillegass, read the second one.
That worked very well for me.
Also, the documentation at Apple's website is quite good. Study the
sample code. That's IMHO the most important thing you can do. Read
code, try to customize code for your project's needs.
And become familiar with OOP and Design Patterns.
The recommended book for this is:
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides

Hope this helps (a bit)
Klaus
