Hi David,While no one book covers all of Cocoa, going through a book can help give you a "feel" for how Cocoa programs come together. I've often caught myself making things *way* more difficult than they need to be before I discovered the Coccoa Way To Do It. I'm still learning the Cocoa Way, but it is worth the effort.I've found that both the Hillegass[1] and Garfinkel[2] books were worth reading, as have quite different approaches and cover different parts of Cocoa to some degree. I've heard good things about the Anguish[3] book, and while I haven't read it, I have read his earlier book and have high expectations of this one.Finally, keeping something like AppKiDo[4] around can help you navigate the Apple documentation more readily.I hope that helps. --Dethe [1] Aaron Hillegass, Cocoa Programming for OS X, ISBN: 0321213149[2] Garfinkel and Mahoney, Building Cocoa Applications: A Step by Step Guide, ISBN: 0596002351[3] Scott Anguish, et al., Cocoa Programming, ISBN: 0672322307 [4] http://homepage.mac.com/aglee/downloads/appkido.html
Thanks to everyone who replied. The [4] program looks excellent for a reference. I still need a book to help me "learn the Cocoa way" as Dethe puts it. I'll probably take a look at the above mentioned books and buy at least one of them. The Mac XCode 2 book I have also appears that it will be useful for learning to use XCode but not for really understanding Cocoa (as I would expect based on the title).
