Hello Omar:Probably the best way to learn is by example. ANd if you're brand new to GNUstep and have no experience with Cocoa, I strongly recommend that you use GNUstep Renaissance (http://www.gnustep.it/Renaissance/). Renaissance has several examples, and IMO, declaring your user interface through XML is much less tedious than doing it programmatically *and* using a drag-and-drop tool. Also, tools such as Gorm and Interface Builder produce UI's that have fixed layouts, including fixed font sizes, which I think is a bad thing.
Of course, you'll have to work with the API sooner or later anyway. Probably the best source of documentation at this point is Apple's Mac reference library (http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/). Just remember that GNUstep only covers the Foundation and AppKit frameworks.
HTH, Matt
