Do you have any previous programming experience? Are you just looking to learn the core Objective-C language or do you mean the Mac OS X Cocoa framework too?

If you're coming from C++ check out this PDF.

Learn Objective-C on the Mac assumes you know some C and it doesn't really touch on the Cocoa framework, it sticks to the command line. I have found it useful.

Programming in Objective-C 2.0 seems to covers Objective-C and Cocoa and the reviews look good, but I haven't read it.

There is one book you need to have i you're going to be using Cocoa. Once you get a footing with Objective C as a language, you should buy yourself a copy of Cocoa Design Patterns. This covers Cocoa by teaching you first the rationale behind it, then shows you how to do things.

Also, this would probably be a worthwhile read, if only for the terminology it introduces.

Good luck!

EDIT: I personally learned Objective C using this book, and I'd recommend it to you as well.

Ideas:

  • How about learning programming? Learn Objective-C, then you could develop both mac and iOS apps on your iMac. They're great for coding!
  • Even better, you could learn ruby, a modern and relatively easy to learn programing language and develop web applications with rails (A big part of the ruby community is using macs).
  • Start learning Flash and make some good flash games.
  • Or become an expert in Photoshop!
  • Download and watch a few good HD movies. They look amazing on the iMac screen.
  • Learn something new by taking an online Stanford class, for example computer science, anatomy or game theory.


    If that's not enough, browse the App store. I'm sure you'll find some inspiration.

I don't really like that book. Not that it's poorly written, it just didn't click with me.

I'd recommend "Learn Objective-C on the Mac". It's got a very solid Objective-C foundation, and it had very good examples which helped me make sense of the matter.

Note: I believe Apress is about to release (or maybe has released already) a book on Cocoa also, but I can't comment on that one yet.
