Hi, There is enough information at developer.apple.com on OS10 and IOS development to keep you busy for the rest of your life. A good way to get started is to read the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide at: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaFundamentals/Introduction/Introduction.html. From the intro page, there is a link to a book on objective C.
