Feel free to fix/add documentation to the wiki

Books

  • “Programming in Objective-C” by Stephen Kochan. Amazon
  • “The iPhone Developer’s Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK” by Erica Sadun. Amazon
  • “Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (3rd Edition)” by Aaron Hillegass. Amazon
  • “OpenGL ES Common/Common-Lite Profile Specification – Difference specification”. |PDF

All are available as e-books, the Hillegas book is probably least useful for iPhone development (and it’s also the most expensive).

Tutorials and 3rd party cocos2d documentation

Consider first closely following the Monacle Studios tutorial, then closely examining the included examples (test directory) in the cocos2d-iphone documentation. These third party documents are not the responsibility of the cocos2d people, but are provided by the wider community to help pass the knowledge on.
