You should start first by learning how to program in general.
I would suggest following the tutorials at the following site:
http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial2.html#ctutorial
It covers how to do C programming. The concepts between all programming languages are generally the same and learning C will give you a great advantage when learning a new language such as Objective-C.
Get yourself a compiler and editor and start following the tutorials, instructions found here: http://www.cprogramming.com/tools.html
Once you have completed the tutorials at Cprogramming.com I would suggest taking a look at the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-C
and a site such as: http://cocoadevcentral.com/d/learn_objectivec/
to learn how the language differs from standard C.

It's very difficult to learn how to program in a language if you don't have the fundamental logic behind it, so I would suggest that you work on the logic part of programming to prepare yourself.
In the end, it doesn't matter which language you use, the logic is the same.

The xcode ide is wysiwyg when it comes to GUI design, but you still need a solid understanding of object oriented principles.
You'll also need a mac.

I created a course for Sun teaching non-programmers how to program Java. It's very difficult to learn how to program in a language if you don't have the fundamental logic behind it, so I would suggest that you work on the logic part of programming to prepare yourself.
In the end, it doesn't matter which language you use, the logic is the same.

@scrockett: Seems like you'd rather break down than build up. If you have something constructive to add, please do. Otherwise, you can leave your judgements at the door.

Basically, everyone is telling you that you're screwed. Why would you want to do iPhone development before knowing the very basics of programming? Buddy up with a programmer if you're only interested in design. The xcode ide is wysiwyg when it comes to GUI design, but you still need a solid understanding of object oriented principles.

- Fact Refuted
The question was not about iPhone development. The question was about learning Objective-C. The question was not about design and didn't imply "only" being interested in design.
XCode is NOT WYSIWYG in GUI design. Design is design. BUILDING GUIs using XCode is more WYSIWYG that other development platforms.
Not a helpful answer at all.
