New to programming - need advice

Recently I purchased a MacBook Pro for the purpose of app development as part of a venture me and two other people are getting in to to make a little bit of money. Also, I just wanted to have a Mac, as I have used them before, but never owned one, and always wanted to. I am very computer literate, but I am not what you would call a programmer. I am fairly good with HTML, and on Windows I have made some very simple Visual Basic programs (key word: very), but I am otherwise completely new to this field. I know that for iOS apps, programming is done in Objective-C, which as I understand is just C with objects. I am planning on purchasing the book "Programming in Objective-C 2.0" by Stephen G. Kochan, as I have read that it is a very good book for complete beginners. However, I'm sure I will also need to learn a lot about the X-Code environment and the many other features that Apple provides developers, and I don't think a lot of that is covered in the book. I have already downloaded X-Code. Does anyone have any good advice for me?

Im currently making my way through this set of videos.

I like the way he explains the terms in real life terms, and ive always been better at learning by watching and listening someone as opposed to following a book.

Apple's own dev site for iOS is always a good place to start. Stanford University also posted videos from a class they offered on iOS in iTunes U but I'm guessing that the course requires you to have some basic programming knowledge first.
