you should think of a simiple application and then try to program it. If you try to troubleshoot the problems you have when programming you'll discover that learning come as you figure out your problems.

if you have a "newer" mac with leopard you can get xcode for free and use the simulator without testing on a device. Before submitting an app to the app store you need to have a paid account ($100) and you should do testing on a real device, emulator != device.
