So I'm really enjoying my powerbook. Enjoying it enough to decide to finally start writing GUI apps at an OS level. I've read the docs at the Apple Developer Connections, and decided I much prefer Objective C over Java. I have the Developer Tools installed, and understand the basics of how OSX and Cocoa and everything works together. But I like lots of examples, copying and pasting programs then modifying them... learning by compiling essentially, rather than just a reference. Can anyone recommend good online resources, other than the ADC? Or a good book... I'm not opposed to laying down $50 on a book if it is an awesome reference with plenty of code examples and a good tutorial to get one started.

Any advice would be appreciated. :)

I believe there are a number of coding examples in XCode that you could have a look at. Of course, that's Apple too...

Other than than, I can recommend the mailing lists at ADC for getting information about Apple development.
