Are you ever too old to learn to program?

[Rameses]

Hello.

My situation at the moment has given me plenty of time to learn something new. I'm 30 years young and have never really done any programming. I can build PC's, set up and manage Windows / OSX systems, but never programmed.

Specifically I'm interested in OS X and iOS Apps.

Where is best to start as a complete novice? (books,website resources etc..)

Any insight welcome.

ok good stuff thank you, understand the logic first cool but where/what can help me achieve this?

typeing programming in amazon/google is overwhelming!

I guess I should lean towards C++ though since that is the basis of ios/xcode no?

Would any of you kind people point me towards a good, simple starting BOOK perhaps?

TYVM!
