Is it hard to learn how to program an iPhone app SDK?

It’s not difficult, but there’s a lot to learn. If you have no programming experience at all, it will probably take you two to three years of working on it to become reasonably competent.

YES trust me. I had to buy tech books ($50 a piece, technology books are overpriced everywhere) and get an SDK account for free to get access to the resources, and I still hardly understand the code. Since I was 7, I taught myself BASIC, BlitzBasic, HTML, Java, JavaScript, full CSS, Torque, and SteamConsole. Yet I still don’t get Cocoa or any other C based language! It is the most confusing family of programming languages…
