I'm new and I am trying to get started with OS-X

I bought my first Mac a year ago December, and I love it. I have been interested in trying to write my own programs and don't even know where to start. I have never written any software before and was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations on any books or other good websites that can help me in my quest. I want to start small with maybe making my own widget or something, but eventually I would like to expand into writing an autoshop POS system similar to RO Writer. I love OS-X and will never go back to using Vista ever again, and I would love to learn more about my beloved Mac. Thanks!!
