Ray Wenderlich's tutorials are really great:

Here's one specifically for High School students:

And another, creating a text adventure game:

And here's Apple's:

There are bunches out there, though--would love it if you report back later on what your favorites were!

For an absolute beginner a good way to start is by following an online course in iOS development:

http://www.hackrocket.com Will soon launch an immersive three-month program to teach absolute beginners how to build iPhone and iPad apps

http://teamtreehouse.com/

http://www.lynda.com/iOS-tutorials/iOS-SDK-Essential-Trainin...

http://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-dev...

You can also try to learn on your own. Here are some of the best books:

- iPhone Programming : The Big Nerd Ranch Guide

- Cocoa Design Patterns

- iPhone App Development : The Missing Manual

- The iOS Developer's Cookbook

- Cocoa Design Patterns

- Head First: iPhone Development

Once you start developing http://www.stackoverflow.com is an invaluable resource

Thankyou! I've sent it to my cousin, I'll try to find out which were his favorites.
