Learning Objective C and C++
The programming languages used for iPhones are Objective C and C++. For more information on this from this source, go to Apple's page for the developer.
Here are the books that I found to be most helpful.
If you don't know Objective C, start with that. If you've already been doing some programming, check out the books on C++.

- Interesting lens. Developers now need to learn programming for the iPhone and also for Android phones. And windows phones in the future? If I had to create for one platform, it would be iOS.
