That's a great comment, and it is true for most people, but Cocoa is 
taught in at least one school. Stanford offers CS193E Cocoa 
Programming. If you are looking for a school that leads you towards 
Apple development, Stanford might be a good pick. However, as others 
have mentioned, the best programmers have as solid base in data 
structures and algorithms, and the language or platform really doesn't 
matter so much (at first).
