How do I learn how to develop iPhone apps? Where do I start?

Question

Ever since I was 13 years old (im 16 now), Ive had a passion for electronics but more of behind the scenes of what runs al these electronics! I finally decided after many years that I want to make developing iPhone apps my job! The only problem is that I have no idea where to start so I can learn about coding! The equipment I have right now are a MacBook Pro Retina, External Monitor, iPhone, and old iPad! Whats the best way to start?

Answer 1

Learn to develop apps - not iphone/android but generally.

No serious programmer works with single-device tools (well, unless they work for the company that makes them..)





Using a "cross-platform" development system, you create a program / application then decide which device or machine to build it for - eg. ios, android, windows, mac, linux etc..

A few clicks & options and it's built again, for a different device/system.



For simple programs and 2D graphics, livecode is the simplest and fastest system; it uses it's own near-English programming language.

(There is a free version - see the green "open source" link at the bottom of the page)..





For more complex stuff & fully accelerated 3D graphics, look at Marmalade - quite a few of the biggest selling apps are created with this:

With that, you would normally work in C (C++) which is the single most compatible and universal programming language there is..



Both have vast amounts of examples & tutorials online and/or included; eg.

Answer 2

Objective c and swift for Apple devices

For android it's java.



Use notepad++ it's a good editor to start with, but you need to get fimilar with the basics of file extentions if you don't know that already.

And also storing them in folders.



Create a folder and a text document in notepad then change the file extention to .html



There you go you have created your first web app.
