Learning to make iPhone Apps with the SDK
I have been trying for some time to learn hoe to program Objective-C so that I can make an app, but now I am starting to want to learn even more, so I was wondering if anyone here knows of a book, website, etc. that could help me learn about iphone SDK programming. I already have iPhone Application Development for Dummies and that book relies on you having some previous knowledge of programming, so it didn't really help, I have watched many videos on YouTube and they taught me well but none of them taught me what I need to learn. I've already downloaded the SDK and I have also looked through Apple's Resources. Any suggestions on learning from scratch?
Thanks in advance.The Next Generation of Phreaks.

Did you start with absolutely NO programming knowledge?

I haven't opened the book yet. I am still familiarizing myself with OOP using Java at the moment. (I'm trying to write a Hangman game right now, actually)

Sounds cool....but I don't really want to put down 25 bucks if I don't know if it'll teach me what I need to know...

Sorry, "object-oriented programming."

Thanks! I get it. You're sayin I have to learn the language before I learn the iphone/ipod specific stuff.......i think i may get that book...i read the first couple pages on Amazon and it seems well written and it says that you don't have to have any previous knowledge to understand it
