How would I learn objective C? I have no knowledge of it at all but want to create and app.
The biggest drawback at the time I had was understanding how to use the documentation to my advantage or just using it at all.
Thanks everyone, I have no knowledge whatsoever in any programming language so it might be a little difficult. Btw does anyone know how it's even possible to code something like angry birds? Do they upload the images of the slingshot, birds etc? Or do they somehow make it with code?
Thanks! I will definitely look into that.I would suggest buying the book "Objective C Programming - The Big Nerd Ranch Guide" Written by Aaron Hillegass. It teaches programming from the beginning, starting with a brief introduction to standard C and then moving on to Objective C. It will teach you about variables, data types, flow control, pointers, etc, and then move on to Objective C.
The book is a fairly easy read, and by the time you're done with it, as long as you do all the exercises, you should have a decent understanding of programming in general, and of Objective C in particular. Aaron's writing style is informal and not too heavy.

I think you're getting too far ahead of yourself
There's numerous ways to "create" an iOS game. One way is to use a game engine such as Torque (by GarageGames) or Unity. However, learning to create video games is a whole 'nother animal.
That's pretty cool, do they have something like that for apps?

Like the OP, I'm starting out playing around with XCode and wanting to learn Objective-C - the difference is my job is a tester/QA in a VB/SQL environment, so I have some working knowledge, albeit primarily SQL and VB6, with some VB 2008 just coming on-stream.
Of the books mentioned, which would be the best start, or is it down to personal preference, as I have some OO experience.
