Ask HN: c++ or iPhone?

I have been working on iPhone development for the past few weeks. The entry level to learn obj C is actually quite high because I really cannot find any book that helps me to learn obj C. Most of the books that I stumbled upon require me to learn some sort of C or C++ before learning obj C.

After I finished the iPhone project, I am learning C++ now because I believe that it will definitely helps to understand more about obj C.

P/S: I used Beginning Iphone Development, Cocoa Programming For Mac OSX, and the Apple Iphone documentations to learn obj C.

I am learning iPhone programming right now, and I had no Obj C background (but I do have strong Java and Perl experience, and did a lot of C in school)

I highly recommend Stephen Kochan's Programming In Objective C 2.0 - great introduction to the language and its somewhat funky syntax (if you've been immersed in Java etc for a while), plus a whole section dealing with the iPhone SDK to get you started.
