I have no programming background\experience and have decided to take the plunge. iOS app dev is my target. Do I need to learn obj c prior to learning swift or should I just start with the swift programming language?

But i would recommend you leraning some kind of programming logics. It would be a good background to start it since they didn´t release it yet.

Swift is great but It needs some time to evolve.
