As a UNIX user new to Mac OS X and interested in development, I chose to take the Carbon route. Carbon consists of Apple's time tested APIs that are cross-compatible with OS 9 and OS 10. O'Reilly's Carbon book was excellent and using it and my intermediate C skills, I was able to get my feet wet and start writing Carbon applications.
I did not want to take the object-oriented route and invest time in learning new APIs as well as new language constructs like Cocoa or Java and I found this book to be a great resource. It contains a great Moon Planner tutorial which will help build understanding of the Carbon APIs as well as tutorials on how to use the Mac OS X development tools.
I would suggest new Carbon users also purchase the Mac OS X System Overview book from Apple, as it drills into application installation, frameworks and more. Great book!
