Tutorials, tutorials, or books about building MacOSX GUI applications with C ++ in Xcode?

with GUI applications, I mean not only the Unix command-line application, but the entire .app package and the full Cocoa or Carbon application.
Thanks!

PS: I was not absolutely accurate with the graphical interface.
I was referring to a window and menu application, unlike a Unix command-line application.
I actually got to the SDL and OpenGL programming tutorial on MacOSX, and it even has the Xcode templates that come with ObjC needed to set up the menu, and that is pretty much what I was looking for.
Thanks!

My recommendation is to go your way through the docs at http://developer.apple.com . There is plenty of useful material from the manual to the sample code.

Regarding the creation of graphical applications, I would recommend creating parts of the graphical interface using Cocoa (Objective-C). You can still implement your logic and other applications using C ++ (C ++ and Objective-C work together). However, Cocoa is much easier to work than the older Cobal based on C ++. I believe carbon will be a legacy. When the apple released 10.6, many things under the hood moved their code base from Carbon to Cocoa (e.g. Finder, etc.).

Is C ++ required? Most of the GUI for Mac is done using Objective-C or C. Book of Choice - Aaron Hillegas' Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X. This is an outstanding book that will let you jump right in.

There are several links in my bookmarks, here they are:

Both contain enough links to resources that can be very useful, cocoadev.com also contains a set of tutorials that you could complete.
