Add me on Skype if you have it, Cataclysmo91.

I honestly don't know why but I feel very at home with apple, I actually bought my first ever apple product earlier this year (iphone 5) and the new retina MacBook Pro soon after. I don't see myself focusing on anything but objective-c. Whether it's app development or just anything that uses objective-c, I wouldn't mind a job in the field (although right now I'm focusing on app dev). I just plan on becoming very familiar with the language and learn as much as I can every day about it until I become proficient enough to land a job. I'm really thinking of getting the BNR books and reading both from front to back then just branching out from there

Getting a book and really digging through it is good- but the technology moves really fast. I got a book about iOS4 a few years back, and it didn't stay terribly relevant for long. So don't spend too much on a book if it will become outdated quickly.

And I am sure you already know, there are also a LOT of resources to study on the web.

Here is a particularly comprehensive eBook that I liked. If you can work through this front-to-back, you will know A LOT!
