You may want to go to a public library and see what books they actually have. Those are not good stuff. I have actually looked at those, have you?
At least on Youtube you have a comment section where people discuss the material. Or if you are willing to pay some money, udemy provides some decent discussions and Q/A. And there are even better options out there.
Old books about Windows or Mac programming have all sorts of information that has apparently been mostly lost.
Two books I remember, perhaps not the best, but definitely with information that transcends specific technical details, are Bruce Tognazzini's Tog on Interface (or Tog on Software Design), and Charles Petzold's Programming Windows 95. The original "Inside Macintosh" series also comes to mind.
Just googled “AppKit development guides”. Yes, they changed to a reference format, what a shame.
It seems that good guides were moved to archive: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/navigation/#sect...
App Programming quick link: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Ge...
It seems you’re just a little late to learn it :)
