Professional? Me? Please! Educated hobbyist, at best. 

Fire up XCode (look in your startup drive for the "Developer" folder, 
open it, open "Applications" inside it, and there you'll find  
Xcode.app) - you'll also likely notice a folder with a name real similar 
to (if not actually) "ADC Reference Library" - Might be slightly 
different from OS version to version - You'll want to look through that, 
too) and hit the "help" menu - Apple put out a reasonable-enough set of 
docs for Objective-C that, while not perfect, will at least get you 
started decently.
