Where is the best place to start learning Objective C and Cocoa, what's the difference? I don't like mass documentation on the language, I like interactive tutorials that give me results and I am a very visual learner. I've checked the stickies of this forum but they are not what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Edit: I've found this: http://www.cocoalab.com/BecomeAnXcoder.pdf

Very good but a bit long winded, any other suggestions?

Third question answer is the book you need. If you have porgramming experience in another language (preferably C) and work every night after you get home from work you will be writing simple programs in Cocoa for the Mac in about a week. Moving to the iPhone after you are comfortable with the Mac is not hard.

If you don't have programming experience then that will ultimatly still be the book, but you might want more to go along with it. Steve Kochan's Programming in Objective C is a popular choice.
