App Development Help - SDK

[mstone]

Hi guys, I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I'll go ahead and ask again. First let me explain my situation. I have no prior experience developing on any platform and have no development knowledge. I do have a little HTML knowledge, but that's as far as it goes. I'm an entrepreneur at heart and the App Store is too much of a gold mine to miss. So, I want to learn everything I need to know about developing applications. From Objective-C to Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, ETC. My question is, where do I start? I want to accomplish this by reading books and just need to know what books to buy that will get me going. Please give me some advice... MANY thanks!

Two books I highly recommend:

1. Programming in Objective-C by Stephen Kochran for the basics of Obj-C. The book assume no prior coding knowledge. Great step-by-steps. Amazon link.

2. The iPhone Developer's Cookbook by Erica Sadun. Great introduction to iPhone-specific Obj-Coding. Amazon link.

I'm currently in the exact same boat as you are, and I've found that these three books (by the same publisher) have been the most help I've found anywhere:

Learn C on the Mac

Learn Objective C on the Mac

Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK

Have fun, it's a lot of reading 😉
