This is an excellent starter in Cocoa and ObjC. It got me past my initial hesitation to learn ObjC and I still have it in my library.

Although I always wanted to try coding, I never had succes with the other beginner books. This is a great free pdf-book discussing the great Xcode software that you get for free from Apple.
If you have some spare time (you will need enough time) this can be your entrance to coding.
I'm very thankfull for this very well written book!

Re: Become an Xcoder (Free Download PDF)
The Leopard version is top notch; short enough to work through in a few days, yet complete enough to offer a smooth and clean introduction to working with Objective-C. Some of the descriptions for the Xcode Interface are a little vague and difficult to work through, however, and could use a few more screen shots.
