Oops, just to be clear, Topics in C Programming is the one out of print.

I've looked into this as a new Mac convert and found the best place to begin is to learn Objective-C. To my pleasure I found the supposed definitive book on the subject by Stephen G. Kockan called Programming in Objective-C. This guy is a great author, his book, Topics in C Programming is the best programming book I have on my bookshelf. Sadly, it's out of print.

From there the supposed best book to learn Cocoa is by Aaron Hillegass, Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X.

I haven't delved into these yet...but I'm planning to.

Man i just love the GUI on alot of the new mac apps out there. I really would like to be able to create small mac apps, but I have no idea where to start. Cocoa? if anybody can point me in the right direction, a e-book, normal book, website or similar?

Thanks,
