Note to self: Do not shove foreign objects in mouth.
I've recently been inspired to start game programming as a hobby, but I know virtually nothing about the subject. Do you guys have any literature you'd recommend for a beginner? I'd like to get started with basic stuff like vertexes and pixel shading, etc..

I have an idea for a game I'd like to create for the iPhone, so I opened the PDF for the OpenGL ES v1.1 spec and most of it was foreign to me. The first page they stated "We assume that the reader has at least a rudimentary understanding of computer graphics." So I'd like to get to that level within the next year or so.
