I’m a web developer and I’m getting envious of all the cool iPhone apps. I know nothing about C or what ever language they use to make iPhone apps. I really have no idea where to start. What do I need to do? Should I take a class, buy a book? I have a pretty good grasp on programing, I do tons of HTML, CSS and Javascript development and some PHP and Action Scripting. I’m not very good with Object Oriented Programing but I think I could pick it up if I used it more. I love video tutorials like lynda.com or net.tutsplus.com. I learn best buy jumping in and getting my hands dirty.

By far the best book I read on beginning iPhone development is called just that, Beginning iPhone Development. Very easy to read and takes you from a total beginner to reasonably competent. Check it out: http://apress.com/book/view/1430216263
I should also mention that every chapter has you jumping in and doing practical work. Most of the time you enter some code, get it running, and then go through it to understand it.
