iphone app development books

hi, ive recently decided to start to make iphone applications.

i have no clue about designing any apps and have no prior experience in making any sort of apps for any operating system.

i have a macbook and an iphone so i dont need any hardware.

i was just wondering what books i would need to read to be able to design good apps.

i have plenty of free time at the moment and so wouldn't mind reading plenty of books on the topic if that was necessary to become a competent developer.

thanks for any feedback

sorry double post

I've found the Sams tech Youself iPhone Application Development book to be one of the best to start out with.

would that be the only one id need or would i need to read any others

Hey digan,

I hope you will enjoy iPhone development.The learning curve is abit of the steep side,but once you get over that,then its all about bringing your idea into a real life app.Great buzz seeing other people using them too!

Anyway a couple of books I found useful were:
Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-iPhone-Development-Exploring-SDK/dp/1430224592

and If you are new to Objective-C (like I was,Java background) then
Learn Objective–C on the Mac is a good practical guide to getting starting with the language
