That's inspirational to me
I am currently 1 week into my studies of Objective-C using "Objective-C for Absolute Beginners" and so far, it is a pretty good book. My goal was to have one app on the app store by June, so hopefully can I make it a really good app.

Yes C is a pain but if you learn it rest other language is easier like C++ ...
I agree with johndo Obj-C is a pain. Obviously the amount of pain you inflict on yourself is relative to your ability to program and understand some of the more complex details of a language and it's constructs.
I've been using it off and on for about 1 year, and am finally starting to actually understand how the eff it works, and how it all comes together, without looking at tutorials and language ref. docs
Something I REALLY like about Obj-C is when you init an object, the correct way is to have all of the inits you make cascade down the chain to eventually always create the one with the most arguments.

I learnt it for iPhone development. I didn't like the SDK and the platform though.
I found Android very lucrative though. The app store is much better imo. Java is a nicer language to grasp and the Android SDK and platform are nice too.
That's my opinion though. Obviously others will differ.

Lynda.com is really nice. I'd urge anyone serious about learning to pay for a subscription and give back them. It's not even expensive.
Lynda is no good if you're already into iOS/Android development. But it's great to learn the foundations.
I stuck Android in there because thats where I learnt Android development. Coupled with a good few books from Apress and you're set to go.
Objective-C itself isn't that hard to learn, it provides some higher level features that C doesn't like Garbage collecting and so on.
I've a lot of experience with C and C++. I can understand Objective-C code and write it, but I don't really like the syntax much. Which doesn't seem as consistent or structured as C or C++.
Anyway wish you good luck.

If you know C and C++ you would be slightly annoyed by the way Objective C does things. It's not hard to learn, as if you had previous C/C++ experience you could say no language is unattainable, but like someone said earlier, it doesn't quite conform to the good solid conventions.
