Where to Begin

I finally had the chance to start reading my first book, iPhone App Development: The Missing Manual last night. (I bought it on Saturday. It's been that kind of week.) I'm not entirely sure why I thought this would be a good place to start, but I have to start somewhere, and this was one of three or four books I had come across and taken note of over the past several months. As an overview, rather than a book focused solely on programming, I thought it might be a good way to wander in without being completely overwhelmed.

And it has been. I'm just into Chapter Two (a brief introduction to Objective-C), and it's not something I know anything about, but I'm surprised at how easy it is to get my mind around the basic concepts — and how similar many of those concepts are to AppleScript. It's very encouraging.
