Great Price "Cocoa Programming: A Quick-Start Guide for Developers (Pragmatic Programmers)" for $17.93 Today

In my opinion this is a great book for beginners in Cocoa. The author conceptually explains the framework for Cocoa Programming (that is to me more useful then just a programming recipe book). Yes, there are a lot of recipe like books out there for iPhone and Mac programming, but if you really want to learn how things work, this book actually will help fill in the details for you. For example this book really explains 'delegates' and 'first responder' concepts in more plain language to me then other sources I used . Also, in the recent update to the book, the author covers new and important concepts with 'blocks' and 'grand central dispatch' which are new to snow leopard. The book is a big time saver and the price was very affordable (the last I checked) .

Cocoa Programming: A Quick-Start Guide for Developers (Pragmatic Programmers) Overviews

Cocoa Programming: A Quick-Start Guide for Developers shows you how to get productive with Cocoa-fast! We won't walk you through every class and method in the API (but we will show you where to find that information). Instead, we'll jump right in and start building a web browser using Cocoa. In just a few minutes you'll have something that works. A couple of minutes more, and you'll have code in your custom controller, listening for notifications and call-backs. Soon you'll have the functionality you'd expect in a full browser. And that's just the first few chapters...

Well thought out and not rushed - Brad Hutchins -
Pragmatic has done it again. They once more found an author to truly tackle this ever growing important subject. Cocoa Programming, and not just on the Mac but touches on the iPhone and iPad a bit. Everything is clear and concise and easy to follow. Objective-C can be a bit daunting, but not at the fault of the author just the nature of the beast. But once you get familiar with the language idioms. Things start to fall into place and you just start to get it.

Great modern introduction to Cocoa - Juio E. Barros -
This is a great modern introduction to Cocoa Programming. It covers a lot of topics and really helps you get the idea behind the design decisions of the apis. It is a great overview of the many important aspects of programming for the Mac desktop.

Great Price "Programming in Objective-C" for $7.99 Today

This is an excellent introductory book on Objective C programming language as used for the Apple Macintosh and Apple iPhone. It is very clearly written, with good examples, and good exercises that help reinforce the concepts that need to be learned. I used this book to become proficient in Objective C in less than 3 weeks.(Note I have previous experience with C language and the Macintosh programming language so your learning rate may vary) I highly recommend this to those seeking to learn or review Objective C.

Programming in Objective-C Overviews

Objective-C has become the standard programming language for application development under Mac OS X. It is a powerful yet simple object-oriented programming language that is based on the C programming language. Objective -C is widely available across many operating systems that support the gcc compiler, including Linux, Unix, and Windows systems.

Programming in Objective-C provides the beginner programmer with a complete introduction to the Objective-C language. Unlike other books on Objective-C, it does not assume previous experience with either C or object-oriented programming languages. By using many complete examples and taking a step-by-step approach, the book teaches the reader how to write Objective-C programs on any system that supports the Objective-C language, as well as how to use the Foundation framework to develop portable programs that will run on any system supporting Objective-C.

Beautifully written. Great for starting iPhone Development too!!! - zacware - New Jersey
This book is excellent. If you are new to Apple's development tools, and interested in learning iPhone programming, even if you don't have any previous programming experience. This is a great book to start with. I had my 12 year old read the first 100 pages of this book for a basic programming primer in Objective C and then switch over to reading Dave Mark's equally excellent Beginning iPhone Development - Exploring the iPhone SDK, and by the end of the weekend he had written his first basic iPhone app.

Good introduction to Objective C - ipo -
Overall this is a good introduction to Objective-C. Programmers proficient in C will find some sections rather basic but the authors do say in the preface that no programming experience is assumed. The text is also a good book to read before reading Apple's text.
