iPhone OpenGL ES Resources – 18 That You Must Know!
OpenGL ES is the graphics API used for programming the iPhone. If want to create your own game engine, design a game from scratch, or create some other graphically intensive app that requires you to go beyond Core Animation and Quartz, then you will need to have a good understanding of OpenGL ES.

iPhone Development Floodgates Are Not Open
I received a question from a visitor whether I still felt it was worthwhile to learn Objective-C development with Flash supporting the iPhone, and seen alot of talk lately on iPhone programming websites talking about how there are so many different tools for creating iPhone apps that allow you to bypass the use of Objective-C in developing your own iPhone apps.
