Bowl-O-Rama

I really don't want to keep throwing $30 and $40 books at the problem — I can't afford to! — but I still feel as though I don't have a firm enough grasp of the very basic stuff to make the less-very basic stuff less baffling.

(Remember that episode of The Simpsons, where Homer's only hope to keep his dream job at the Bowl-O-Rama is to come up with a plan to increase business? He starts out consulting "Advanced Marketing," the next scene has that book in the trash as he reads "Basic Marketing," and the scene that follows has both books in the trash as he's reading the Dictionary. That's kinda how I feel.)

So this afternoon, I'm reading Objective-C for Absolute Beginners. I also bought iPhone and iPad Apps for Absolute Beginners, which probably wasn't necessary, but better safe than sorry.
