If you just need to learn Cocoa, I would suggest you to start with a
book that covers both Objective-C and the Cocoa APIs. Learning
Objective-C is definitely an asset, but it's not mandatory to use
RubyCocoa.
I don't really have good suggestions for Cocoa books, but I had the
opportunity to get started with http://www.cocoaprogramming.net, which
I recommend. I think the book was written for Tiger or the version
below, but it's still very pertinent. You can also learn a lot from
the various articles/guides on developer.apple.com.
