Since I purchased my Apple Powerbook in July, I've wanted to get some experience developing Cocoa (Objective-C) applications. I subscribe to O'Reilly Safari, which provides me with a huge library of technical books to draw upon. "Programming in Objective-C" (Stephen G. Kochan) is the best book I've encountered yet. I haven't programmed in C since university (nearly 4 years), and Java has given me a nice, cozy environment safe from memory leaks (usually), pointers and other non-niceties. But C is powerful. And 1337. This book is great for a non-C programmers, or those who are a bit rusty and want to make a transition to Objective-C. The language is quite elegant. It's got all the power of C, with the ability to define objects in a manner almost identical to Java. And no C++ oddities.
