Cocoa was designed with Objective-C in mind. If you know C and OOP it
is a very small step (IMHO) to learn Objective-C.
Also consider that Apple documentation, 3rd party books, code example,
etc. for Cocoa are most often written using Objective-C.
I encourage you to take a couple of days to learn Objective-C and then
use that to when you learn Cocoa (the later will take substantially
longer to learn).
