What is good book or online resource to give a programmer fluent in ANSI C a good introduction in Objective C?

I have developed in ANSI C for years, but now its time to learn objective C to get involved with iPhone development.

As a C developer, learning objective-C ought to be fairly quick for you and the Apple documentation is pretty good. For iPhone development (and generally Mac OS X development) I think the bigger task is learning Cocoa. A great book I have is "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" by Aaron Hillegass. It covers briefly objective-C, the mac development tools (Xcode, interface builder etc.) and the Cocoa framework.

(PS I'm not a developer, it's just a hobby)

If you're fluent in C, check out Apple's documentation. They essentially have the say on what happens to Objective-C, and their guide is absolutely wonderful - so much that it even reads like a book. Apple's developer documentation tends to be very clear.
