from the ask-hn dept.

So i couldn't find a training institute in miles to learn Programing for OS X/Iphone. Have no previous experience in coding. Have only added bookmarks from previous HN discussions.oh by the way my first post here.:) and you guys are just great!

I recommend the following books:

Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X: http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780321562739

Programming in Objective-C 2.0, Second Edition: http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780321605559

Ironically, while the first book has a more thorough discussion of Cocoa, the second book is the one with the iPhone section. Get both; they complement each other.

There is a 'Learn Series' from APRESS 'Learn C on the Mac', 'Learn Objective-C on the Mac', 'Learn Cocoa on the Mac', and finally 'Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK'. Apple also has very good documentation on their developers site.
