I believe my book is the newest, since it is reaching bookstore shelves (in the U.S.) this week: Cocoa Recipes for Mac OS X: The Vermont Recipes (Peachpit Press, 2nd Edition, 2010). I believe an ebook version is also available.
It covers many of the new features in the Cocoa frameworks for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. It is a complete rewrite of the first edition, which was published in 2003 for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, and the original Web version that first appeared in 2000 (if I recall correctly) for the Developer Preview version of Mac OS X.
Like the 1st edition, the 2nd edition takes the approach of writing a complete Cocoa application from start to finish, instead of explaining separate bits and pieces of the Cocoa frameworks in isolation. It includes detailed chapters on application-related topics that aren't often covered in Cocoa books, such as creating Apple Help books using the new Snow Leopard format, and implementing AppleScript support.
It assumes that you already know at least the basics of C and Objective-C, and it assumes some familiarity with object-oriented programming. The project files and a short errata page are already available on the book's Peachpit Web page.
