While I'd agree that the book is the best way to go, if you want a starting point, this tutorial will walk you through starting your first game.

Answer 2

Definately the best book you can get for game making on the iphone

Answer 3

you have several options, but this are my personal recommendations:

First a very good book about iPhone programming, from the code master Aaron Hillegas:

ios_programming_the_big_nerd_ranch_guide

then you can advance in more advanced stuff like learn the awesome Cocos 2D framework with this book:

Learn-iPhone-iPad-cocos2d-Development

This asumming that you have already a good base in C and Objective-C programming languages, if not i will recommend you this book:

The C Programming Language

The Objective-C Programming Language

With this books you will have a good amount of fun, cheers.

Answer 4

The key skill that will make a difference is not more Obj C or iOS coding knowledge, but learning game design, what makes a fun or compelling game experience. Books on the art and psychology of game design might be a good starting place.
