FWIW, here's a pretty good introduction, just published: there are other good tutorials at the same site. Objectively Speaking: A Crash Course in Objective-C | Ray Wenderlich

Programming in Objective-C is good.

I'd also recommend Cocoa Design Patterns for getting a proper understanding of the way things are done: it makes life much easier if you go with the grain of the OS, and having always been fully OO (via its roots in NextStep) Cocoa has a lot of really good patterns underlying it. If nothing else, make sure you have a good grasp of the delegate-datasource-notifications way of doing things, as it appears everywhere and you'll find life is beautiful if you use it too.

+1 anything by that author will be a good choice (just get the latest edition).
