Im not totally new to programing.... but the only types of programming i have done are Basic and Ladder Logic. I downloaded all the movies and what not from the SDK Dev Site and watched them. but im still lost. I got the idea i should start by learning C, C+ & C++ before i start with the SDK? is any one else in this spot or have any short cuts i can take to get on track with the iPhone's language?:apple:

seriously, with no idea on how to program it will take ages to program anything decent
and iphone uses objective-c

oh, and also C+ doesnt exist, theres C, and C++ (++ in programming means +1, so C++ means C plus 1 :) . ++ is used as typing i=i+1 (where i is a number) takes too long (i++ is the same as i=i+1, but takes less time to type), and adding 1 is used all the time in programming when looping)

programming is programming is programming

learn java or c++.

with basic fundamental programming skills and techniques you learn from these two languages you'll pick up on any other one very easily.
