Am currently reading Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Hillegass just to get up to speed on Objective-C and the Development tools. What would be the next best step ?
Instructor led course ? Online training? Specific books ?
A:
I would pay a cheap freelancer.com to help me out via a remote desktop method. There are out there people who are experienced and for some money they will teach you.

I can't ever learn a new development platform without a programming project.
I would pick a simple project that will touch on a bunch of different design and interface elements - and go to it...

Programming is like math. You can't really learn it just by reading about it. You have to do it.

My recommended approach, especially with iPhone development, is 'learning by doing'.
I'd say you should get your hands dirty with a simple app, like "Hello World". Next step would be to improve on it, making a simple flashlight app (display a image). You'd then improve on it by adding some dynamic text, etc.

iPhone Development books: "iPhone Developer's Cookbook" and "Beginning iPhone 3 Development" (get them on Amazon)
