I want to start learning developing for iOS these days and dedicate a good part of my daily schedule to it.
I want to ask the more experienced developers what should I start with?
Someone told me that, for learning the basics I should start taking a python course and he will point me the directions from there.
I also know that iOS development is based on C/C# and Objective C if I am not wrong.
Looking for answers and tips on this one. Thank you!

Yes, you are correct, iOS based purely on C. Although I would recommend you study from Cpp, or, if you're a beginner, start with python, it's a good pseudo-language for understanding how everything works.
 
Man I've been telling myself I'm going to do this for months now and I've been programming for almost 20 years. If you're already a programmer, get to know XCode. It's really nice, but a lot different from other IDEs.

As far as the language goes, it's Objective-C, but C, C++ and Objective-C should NEVER EVER be thought of as similar languages. Syntactically they *look* the same, but from an engineering standpoint your approach is going to be a lot different. You're going to think about objects passing messages to each other instead of instructions going to a processor which is the beauty of it. Much, much easier.

In C++ you also have to think of objects passing messages. Obj-c and C++ share the OOP paradigm, but agree that both are very different from the structured programming mentality of C
 
Sorry to use your space but since I'm interested in learn Objective-C too, can someone link me to a good place or some sort of documentation where I can learn objective-c? Thanks in advance!
And one more thing. Im a java and android developer, it will be easy for me to learn objective-c or its completely diferent from what Ive done until now? (Be the way I just started learning python) Thanks!
