I want to learn programming, from scratch, I have no knowledge of programming itself but am very competent with a computer. I have a MacBook running Leopard and boot camp with XP. I can learn fast and eventually want to go on to write apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch platform and maybe even games. What programming language should I learn to start with? Preferably not the one that is the easiest to learn but the one that is the most useful. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Objective C is good for what you want.

C or C++ is what you want to learn. This is what almost all software development kits use. wether you want to develop for the iphone or a plug in for photoshop.
you could use another language and still do the same thing. but a majority of things use c or c++. so learning that language makes things easier to understand what is going on.
