What resources do people here recommend to learn Mac OS development?


I have only read their books on iOS dev but have had good experiences with Big Nerd Ranch books: https://www.amazon.com/Cocoa-Programming-OS-Ranch-Guides/dp/... Ray Wenderlich tutorials are also iOS biased but have been great: https://www.raywenderlich.com


It depends what you want to do, if you're playing around building apps for a hobby and friends and family and you can target Monterey, you could go with SwiftUI and Apple's official tutorials (it runs on older versions but a lot is missing). If you've got experience in React or any other of the declarative frameworks you'll pick it up quickly, it's actually much nicer than React.
