Thank you very much for bringing this issue to me!
I will definitely have to have a second look at the SDK licence.
In the "worst" case scenario, yes - learning to program Cocoa on Mac
OS X would be a good start for iPhone.

iPhone developer too.
That's not necessarily the case.
Again, I'm not trying to be difficult, but you haven't addressed
Apple's "permission". The typical interpretation of their SDK non-
disclosure agreements is that you're not even allowed to talk to
others under the same non-disclosure agreement unless they're within
your organization (ie, a company sharing an ADC membership).*
By conducting or attending the class and discussing the iPhone SDK
without special permission from Apple, you'd potentially be breaking
a legally-binding contract which carries real consequences
(something Apple has demonstrated they'll pursue).
I think this has to be publicly addressed very clearly so that
conscientious professionals know they're not walking into legal hot
water, or at the very least losing their ADC memberships. It's a
fair question ... :-}
