I've done a bit of iPhone programming (even have 1 published app) but what I'm really interested in doing is learning to create applications for OS X. I'm a 7 year .Net Developer so I have some understanding of how to make desktop applications, though I don't know much about memory management as .Net spoiled me. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a good tutorial for Objective-C/Cocoa but SPECIFICALLY targeting networking protocols as the application I have in mind would need to have networking capabilities (it's a turn based game with included chat). Everywhere I look for tutorials these days leads me to iPhone and Cocoa-Touch tutorials but I need desktop tutorials.

Apple has a ton of them. Beginner tutorials are not going to have much to do with online games because they're for beginners.

I wouldn't call myself a beginner. I'm an intermediate looking to find out more information about networking os x apps.Maybe I should be doing beginner Cocoa tutorials while doing intermediate Objective-C networking tutorials.

You can call yourself whatever you like, your 7 year .Net experience is pretty much non-applicable to anything anywhere.

The XCode installation comes with a ton of example code in the /Developer/Examples folder.
There are even more on the ADC site, such as GeekGameBoard.

Hillegass is hopelessly stuck in 1988. There is nothing in his book that isn't in Apple's free materials.
