Replying to Writing an iPhone App

I just had an idea that i think most of the people on NS would appreciate: A skiing iPhone App.

I am interested in software/game development but don't really have any experience.

I would like to start writing some games but i don't really know where to begin.

Does anyone here have experience with writing games? (Quazbotch that's you, cuz i love gnarshmallow)

could you guys recommend some books or videos on getting started with writing games?

And for the skiing game, i'd love to write it if i could learn how...

My idea is that the skier is controlled by the players fingers; for example the players fingers act as the skiers legs, resting on the skis. to make turns you simply lead with the outer ski and turn your fingers. to jump you release your fingers and grab buttons pop up on the screen.

I really hope my idea could become real

Thanks
