The beginning!!!

Hello, everyone. My name is Chris Patton and this is going to be about my journey in becoming an iphone developer. For the last couple of years I have wanted to become a programmer but have never buckled down and done so. When I was a teen I use to make program with QBASIC, but that is the real extent of my programming experience. I have browsed through books on java and visual c# but i have never been enthusiastic enough with the platforms until i got my iphone.
   The iPhone is an amazing piece of technology and the possibilities seem to be limitless. I am hoping that I will be able to develop the skills to enter the tech field in iPhone/mobile development or either start my own business in iPhone/mobile(android, but thats a distant goal after I finish this one) development.
   The books I will be going through are as follows: Learn C on the Mac by Dave Mark; Learn Objective-C on the Mac by Mark Dalrymple and Scott Knaster; Programming in Objective-C 2.0 by  Stephen G. Kochan; Beginning iPhone Development 3 by Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche; and Learn Cocoa on the Mac by Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche.
  Well these are the books that I will be going through. As a programming beginner I have my work cut out for me and probably a difficult journey as well.
   Please wish me luck....
