Hi Alex. I'm glad to know you.
I can suggest you to take a look at these apple tutorials:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/XcodeUserGuide/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/00_00_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjCTutorial/ObjCTutorial.pdf
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/ObjC.pdf
Furthermore, if you need to write programs in C++ (I often use a mix of Objective-C and C++ in my Mac applications), the best book online is without any doubt:

bye
Luca.

> Hi,
>
> I'm new to the list, so let me introduce myself.
> I'm Alex, from London in the UK. I suppose I could be
> described as an 'interested amateur' when it comes to
> coding. I have a small amount of experience with the
> C-language (I did most of an introductory course a few
> years ago), and some experience of coding in a variety
> of higher-level scripting languages, including Lingo,
> ActionScript, JavaScript, PHP and the subset of GLSL
> used for Core Image filter kernels in Quartz Composer,
> among others, so I'm not completely new to some of the
> ideas around programming. Save for that C class,
> however, I have no formal training in programming, so
> what I have learnt, I've picked up in a more-or-less
> ad-hoc way, by picking apart other people's code, and
> asking annoying questions of more experienced
> programmers.
>
> I've just purchased this book
> http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/productCd-0764573993.html
> with a view to learning a bit about XCode and
> Objective C, and eventually applying that knowledge to
> creating 3D video and graphics effects using OpenGL,
> GLSL and Quartz Composer.
> I've started working my way through the book, but
> almost immediately hit a problem. It appears that the
> version of the GCC compiler installed with XCode 3.0
> under Leopard doesn't allow nested functions. This is
> a problem, because the very first project in the book
> uses a Switch function inside the main function.
> Flipping through the code contained in the rest of the
> book, it looks like there are quite a few examples of
> nested functions, which, presumably, also will fail to
> compile.
> This leads me to wonder:
> Is it the case that any sort of function, including
> the most basic conditionals, will cause the project to
> fail to compile if it's nested inside another
> function? This seems really odd, as every other
> language I've used/seen allows this.
> Googling around the issue, it looks like this may be
> 'old news', but I haven't been able to find a solution
> yet. Is this only an issue with C code, and won't be a
> problem with Obj-C? If this is the case, then I can
> probably skip the examples in C, and jump to the
> chapter on Objective C.
>
> Any advice gratefully accepted,
