(Become an Xcoder book).
I wish I had this when I was learning programming for the first time in high school(well, my teacher was great, but writing commandline tools gets boring after a little while)
This book covers everything from the utter basics to Cocoa Graphical User Interface(GUI) development.
Using Automator lets you well, automate tasks, without programming. A great video/introduction is from the Applescrip/Automator guru Sal Soghoian at Google Video (here)

The Synthesis Toolkit is a library to generate music with a computer–among other audio digital signal processing tasks(from CCRMA at Stanford). StkX is a framework created by Woon Seung Yeo to enable one to create STK based apps on Mac OS X(and wrap the underlying programs with Cocoa without kludges like NSTask).
Check out Synthesis Toolkit . StkX is available here.

It turns out the earlier problem I was having with NSPipe wasn’t because of “flushing the buffer” issues. In my project, I was wrapping a command-line C++ program. However, after copying the C++ program to the directory where the Cocoa program resided, the issue seemed to disapper(i.e., I need to test it some more).
