I too am planning to set "my first iOS app" as a christmas holiday goal. debating between learning objective-c and doing it in ruby using RubyMotion. better decide quick, my holidays start friday!

Learning objective-c shouldn't be difficult as I have some (though quite dated) experience with c/c++ (as well as java, javascript, ruby, python).

resources i am considering:

the updated flickr app looks promising. i've been a flickr member for years but was losing interest the past year or two. the new mobile app might bring me back.

i'm also considering starting a new tumblr site as a means to sharing my photos.
