I have absolutely no experience in programming but I am interested in writing iPhone apps. I have done a lot of research but I haven't found anything that is for complete beginners. I am 13 years old and i hear that you can make a lot of money from iPhone apps. PLEASE HELP!
idk but you should make one about competitive cheer leading and Beauty pageants
start to learn computer languages
here is a link for an iphone sdk developer tool but you must be using a Mac to run it
Learn Cocoa/Objective C. That is the programming language used. Offered at many universities that have Computer Science department.
Since your not at the age for Uni, I would recommend learning the basics of OOP and going from there.
You’re getting WAY ahead of yourself. You need to learn how to program in general before you tackle apps for any specific platform. Also, mobile applications can be quite challenging.
People who make a lot of money doing it are NOT beginners. One of the things that drives me most crazy about Yahoo Answers is how often programming is under-estimated. People ask things like “how do I make a site like myspace?”…these questions are laughable to anyone who has been in the business. It’s akin to asking a doctor “how do I recover from cancer?”. If you’re asking, you are not at a level which you would understand the answer..not even close.
You need to start small. Take a look here:http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-00Fall-2007/CourseHome/index.htm
That’s college level, introductory programming material. Stuff like this is second nature to any programmer who has been in the field for more than a year. If you don’t totally get everything in that, you need to prepare yourself for several years of research and studying. You don’t need a degree, but you need passion for it. You can’t make yourself into a programmer, either you are one, or you are not.
