With no experience in computer programming, where can I start to learn making apps for iPhones and iPods?

No experience in computer programming. Need someone to point me to the basics of starting to make apps for iPhones & iPods. Could someone hook me with free books/tutorials/video tutorials so I can learn as fast as possible as I am a fast learner.

You need to learn Objective C and Cocoa. The easiest way to do this is to get a Mac and install the Apple developer tools, then work your way through the Apple tutorials and probably also the Aaron Hillegass book "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X". Once you have Objective C and Cocoa nailed then you can move onto iPhone programming, which uses the same programming language (Objective C) and CocoaTouch, which is essentially just Cocoa for the iPhone/iPod Touch.

    Macs are pricey, and objective c sucks compared with java. I would just do what google does by using xmlvm and cross compiling your java code to objective c.
