All of this chatter about programming reminds me that I have been wanting to ask a question. I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent, but the little programming I tried to learn became a bit confusing in trying to remember all of the syntax etc. THis was a really long time ago when I tried to learn Pascal. In any case I would love to learn objective C. So, what is a good book that can help take the uninformed to informed. :) In other words how does one get started and especially in understanding classes etc. I'm sure I could run about the web and look at all sorts of sample code, but I believe you need to have a foundation to build on. I'm probably more interested in development from the angle of trying to help developers make their apps accessible. I do not see myself developing apps for sale. :) My full-time job keeps me fed, housed, and able to afford apps. :) Any advice would be appreciated. I realize this is not a developers list but my interest is in furthering the goal of accessibility for iOS and Mac apps.
