I started learning ios development around 2 week ago. Initially it looked very alien to me. I already know C, C++, C# and Java but not objective-c. The language itself is easy to learn but learning the framework took some time. Now I am much confident and just started my first app. Probably I will be able to finish my first app in a week.
BTW, I am also new to MAC platform and sometime finding using the MAC itself is tedious. I use windows at work and was using Linux at home. Now using mac at home.
