Ray Wenderlich's tutorials are really great:

Here's one specifically for High School students:

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!

Thankyou! I've sent it to my cousin, I'll try to find out which were his favorites.
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

Okay sounds good, I appreciate the help!
Cool, looks very good. I appreciate the help!
I am busy working through the Big Nerd Ranch books and so far i am VERY impressed
