Getting started with Objective-C and the iPhone SDK

Question

So I finally got a Mac to play around with and I'm downloading the massive iPhone SDK.

Do any of you iPhone/Mac programmers have a favorite book? Site? Tutorial to get started with?

I haven't touched C code in a long time and have only briefly seem some Objective-C code. I'm a full time asp.net/C# dev, so I have a programming background, just not with objective-c.

Thanks guys!

Answer 1

I would recommend watching the Stanford Spring 2009 class for iPhone Application Programming. The lectures are available on iTunes.

Answer 2

"Beginning iPhone 3 Development" (Apress) is a nice book and helped me a lot.
