Question by web deign begginer: How long does it take to learn the objective-c programming language without any previous knowledge?
I’d like to create applications for iphone, ipad, and ipod. But I have no programming experience.
How long will it take to learn the necessary programming language skills and create good applications?

Long enough that it should convince you to choose a different course of action.
By the time you get good enough at it to produce something substantial and worthwhile, the i-crap will all be obsolete, and you’ll have to learn something else. But on the plus-side, at least then you’d be experienced.

You have to define “good applications” first. If you mean large scale programs like some of the widely commercial available apps out there, then it would take years to build up the knowledge base and years longer to put it into practice (at least if you were making the program by yourself – if you had a team that’s another matter).
To make basic programs, it would probably take you several weeks if you copied code, and six months to a year by my estimate if you wanted to actually understand what you were writing.
