For every value you read from the file, ask yourself what would happen if some malicious person went in and changed those bytes in the file to some nonsensical value--because there are people out there who will do that.

It takes care to introduce people to pointers and most of the other C stuff that you'll have to understand to do anything but the most simple Cocoa program, and is perfectly suitable for cases like this.
