I'd love to learn Cocoa, it seems like the best systems language for Mac OS X.

Can you recommend any useful ways to learn the language? Books, websites, example projects or even classes to take?

Answer 1

Be sure to check out http://www.cocoalab.com/?q=becomeanxcoder. It goes from the very fundamentals of programming to learning Cocoa, Xcode and more.

Answer 2

One of the best books I read about Cocoa is Cocoa (Developer Reference) by Richard Wentk

Answer 3

Big Nerd Ranch The definitive class to take...well worth it!

Answer 4

Buy a book, open XCode, and write. Seriously, writing is the best way to learn Cocoa. In addition, I recommend Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X!

Answer 5

Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, by Aaron Hillegass.

Answer 6

Andy Matuschak has a great blog post that leads you through several good Cocoa tutorials, explaining why you are reading each one.

Cocoa Dev Central has loads of tutorials.

For books, I echo Dave and Phillip Bowden with Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegass.
