Learn Objective C

So I have been on and off Objective C for quite sometime. I am from the Java, C++, and Perl background. I have to say that I was having high hope with Objective C, was sure that it would provide a host of modern language features that is far better than Java and C#. Boy, was I disappointed. I was actually disgusted at its simplicity.

However, the UI richness of Mac OS and iOS continue to wow me. and finally I decide to dug in to learn objective c (not so much in objective c, but in how to use the whole Cocoa framework and kits).  And I think it would be a good idea to document my process, and compare it to Java, and C# to see how the same desired function could be achieved.

I would use these three books as the main study book as well as Help documentation found in xcode 4.
