Buy a book. Really. This one:"Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" by

So far, everyone I know who managed to get into Cocoa programming
without much cursing used Hillegass' book. I can definitely recommend
it. Of course, you might want to get a good book on C. Dave Mark's
"Learn C on the Macintosh" (http://spiderworks.com/books/
learncmac.php) was very good back when I worked with the first
edition, but I haven't tried the new Mac OS X eBook edition of it yet.
Unless your time is worthless, you'll more than make back the $33
bucks in time saved flailing about trying to avoid paying for
quality instructional materials. I know I did.

Note that I never got anywhere with the tutorials on Apple's site.
Especially the Moon Travel Planner tutorial or whatever it was called
just walked you through creating an application, but apart from
following the shopping list, I didn't really learn anything. Aaron's
book had me doing my first own app the day after I'd finished
reading. And I mean real app that I sold, not a simple test app.
For completeness' sake, after you've finished Hillegass, you may
wanna read Apple's Objective C PDF that details the language. It's a
very dry, reference-style book, but it covers some things that, at
least in the first edition, Hillegass didn't cover.
