Need to learn Quartz 2D programming

I'm looking for resources to help learn to graphics programming with CG
under Cocoa, in the shortest possible time-frame.  I know about apples
developer resource web-site, but I'm looking for good books, tutorials,
and more example code.  I want to create some graphically appealing
instrumentation that displays data in real time based on some custom
data streams from two very different types of hardware.  One is a
medical instrument, the other is an aircraft model.

I prefer to use Cocoa for programming these instruments because, from
what little experimentation I've done so far, it seems to the be the
easiest and therefore the quickest way to get results.  Of course, if
there are other opinions regarding more direct interfaces to CG, I'd
like to hear them.
