<p>I'm looking for a career change, and am thinking about learning programming. I'm 36, reasonably intelligent, eg I'm a emergency specialist nurse, and have lots of time on my hands. Where does one begin to even find out if I should pursue this futher? What do I need to know first? Where are some good resources? I'm particularly interested in developing iphone applications as I've got some good origninal ideas that haven't been developed yet.</p>
