For an absolute beginner a good way to start is by following an online course in iOS development:

http://www.hackrocket.com Will soon launch an immersive three-month program to teach absolute beginners how to build iPhone and iPad apps

You can also try to learn on your own. Here are some of the best books:

- iPhone Programming : The Big Nerd Ranch Guide

- Cocoa Design Patterns

- iPhone App Development : The Missing Manual

- The iOS Developer's Cookbook

- Cocoa Design Patterns

- Head First: iPhone Development

Once you start developing http://www.stackoverflow.com is an invaluable resource

Ray Wenderlich's tutorials are really great:

And another, creating a text adventure game:

And here's Apple's:

There are bunches out there, though--would love it if you report back later on what your favorites were!
