Networking in Cocoa

Hello all,

I'm relatively new to the world of Cocoa programming, and I am looking
for a reference for programming cocoa in general. My one caveat though
is that I would like something that addresses network programming, e.g.
help in developing a client-server app. Oh, and a secondary concern of
mine is where to find reference on including and creating shared
objects.

My goal is to being with some platform agnostic C++ shared libraries,
then hopefully be able to integrate these into platform specific ports.
So as much as possible of the work is universal, while still gaining
the quality of using the host platforms interfaces for each system
(Cocoa, for OS X, MFC <shudder> for Winblows, and GTK for Linux).

I've glanced at the TOC for Cocoa Programming, which is where I am
leaning toward right now, but it seems to only cover NSURLs, and I
don't believe that that would be enough for me.

Any thoughts? Am I crazy?
Thanks and Cheers,
Wes
