Hi guys, I'm a 3d artist and i would love to create an iphone/ipad game in the future, I'd love to be able to create my own game and show it off on a Cv as my own work. i know nothing of programming/coding. Is there any books you could recommend to help me learn what to do? I've no coding background what so ever, at the moment it's just gobbildy gook. Is it possible for me to learn this without years of experience and understanding of other languages?

With Apple banning flash and other content creation platforms, things got a fair bit tougher.
You could still give Unity a go, it's a mature and easy to use platform:

They also have excellent support and a better-than-decent community that is well used to neophytes.
You will have to learn at least some basic scripting, but it's nowhere as tough as the alternatives.

That's if your focus is producing a game. If you want to learn programming, and this is just an excuse/exercise to lead you through it, I would probably sooner step into a bear trap and then gnaw my left foot off to get out of it than attempt to learn programming with objectiveC as a first language.
