I wanna learn and develop 2d game on iphone but i don't know if i should learn Quartz 2d first, or i can just jump into openGL ES directly?

My suggestion is to take a look at cosos2d first...

This should be a comment but i'm not allowed to comment yet:

Your question is subjective. The answer depends on what kind of game you want. You can always use UIKit and CoreAnimation (Quartz) for simple 2d animations/games. If you want to build heavy/complex/3D animations with good frame rates you might try OpenGL but it will be harder to learn.

I'm learning OpenGLES now, and it's not simple. That said, there's probably more documentation out there for it, and Apple has a lot of stuff held in its dev center.

Look at it this way - learning OpenGLES now will pay off in the future, as OGL works on just about every platform under the sun, or hidden away from the sun indoors. If I were you, I'd bite the bullet and learn OES.
