Getting started reverse-engineering OS X?

What is a good place to learn reverse engineering, specifically as it applies to Mac OS X? Two apps that I admire in terms of this subject:

Hyperspaces – Link

and

Orbit – http://www.steventroughtonsmith.com/orbit/

Thanks guys.

  • Use class-dump-x/-z to get the private Objective-C headers for OS X/iPhone OS system frameworks. There are a lot of classes/methods hidden from the public (some rightly so)
