The bible is certainly Aaron Hillegass' Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X - http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/cocoa®_programming_for_mac®_os_x_3rd_edition http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/cocoa®_programming_for_mac®... The Apple documentation is outstanding. http://developer.apple.com/resources/ http://developer.apple.com/resources/ Check out ObjC and iOS podcasts. My favorite Cocoa website it http://theocacao.com/ http://theocacao.com/ Delicious might also help you: http://delicious.com/tag/cocoa http://delicious.com/tag/cocoa

Regarding interface design and user experience I'd like to highlight the Apple Human Interface Guidelines [1]. They are to the point, which makes them easy to read and great for everyone interested in UI design and UX.

Having looked at both in some detail, Daniel Steinberg's Cocoa Programming book http://pragprog.com/titles/dscpq/cocoa-programming http://pragprog.com/titles/dscpq/cocoa-programming might be preferable to Hillegass's book.

    Hillegass spent time and text comparing Cocoa constructs to other programming languages. On distractions. Steinberg's approach had better technical progression, tighter focus and superior editing.

Much thanks, I'll be sure to check out some of those sources. I've always found the Apple docs a little bit daunting, but I'll give them another shot.
