I'm a front end guy trying to learn mobile, and my experience has been that iPhone programming has a steep learning curve. I bought every book on the market, and memberships to sites like Peepcode and Think Vitamin, and still barely feel competent. I think what helped me most was paying for development, and then scouring over the code to see what I could learn, while playing with features and Interface builder until I was able to make progress. As I said, I'm still far from productive, but it at least makes sense. I once toyed with the idea of building a place for freelance dev's with extra time on their hands could fill their hour gaps by teaching people to code, but that's still on the back burner for now.
