How do I start developing Cocoa applications?
I'm a Java guy who is familiar with Swing programming and have recently started working with an iPhone. The boy had a steep learning curve and now I would like to start developing Cocoa for desktop applications.
I've read articles and considered buying a few Cocoa books to promote my learning, but I feel like I haven't fully understood it yet. I started about 3 months ago and am pretty comfortable with Xcode and Objective-C, but Cocoa development for desktop apps looks like a great game from iPhone development.
My questions:
- The right book for searching and learning.
- Which blogs should I follow?
- Any code example I should pay attention to.
I'm looking at Adium src and considering buying a Cocoa 3rd and the book looks like a bunch of things that I already know.

Which blogs should I follow?
Any code example I should pay attention to.
EDIT: SO already has a complete list: Good ways to learn Cocoa?
