Got a tip for us?

I recommend these 3 (in order)
Programming in Objective-c
Cocoa Programming For OS X
Cocoa Programming
The last book is known as the Bible of Cocoa, but you should have learnt the basics first by reading the other 2 books, which are dedicated to Objective C and Cocoa respectively.

Yes, start with obj-c. It's a nice language to program with, and you need it if you want to make sense of cocoa.
Make some command line programs. Like writing hello world to the log, or writing and reading text to a file.
