I have a program that I want to convert from C++ to Cocoa because I need to add more features and I've heard Cocoa is easier to use and produces faster code. Does anybody have a link for a GOOD Cocoa tutorial, I've searched the web and found nothing that was really useful.
f you play a Microsoft CD backwards you can hear demonic voices. The scary part is that if you play it forwards it installs Windows.

Cocoa is not that hard to make. It is just like a lot of other things. Just read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa
wait.. "I've heard Cocoa is easier to use and produces faster code." Cocoa actually produces code!? I can tell it to make a game for me and it will do it?!? Woah.. I had no idea! Why the hell am I still here?! *cough*
Easier to use? I doubt it, from what I've seen it's pretty much C. Look, they even have a tutorial to teach you the basics of C... And it's on Mac.... which pretty much shoots multiplatform in the foot... faster? Don't know about that.
What is wrong with this?
http://www.cocoadevcentral.com/ I mean.. it only showed up 3 down from the top when I searched for: cocoa tutorial
I don't believe you searched... First of all I recommend reading this tutorial and try searching for things again
http://www.googleguide.com/query_input.html Only you know what you are looking for in a tutorial... "Find a tutorial for this!" "uhm.. okay.. here's a tutorial, but because you didn't specify it assumes you've never programmed before. Have fun learning how to create a semicolon" We don't know what you mean by 'useful'
Back by popular demand!
I will byte and nibble you bit by bit until nothing remains but crumbs.

As far as I know, Cocoa's just an API, so you can't really "convert" something from C++ to Cocoa. Apparently, Cocoa is usually used from Objective-C, so maybe that's what you really want to learn. On the other hand, I know next to nothing about Apple products (except that they put the menu way up there where it's hard to find
), so take this with a grain of salt (I just read the Wikipedia article...).
