zYx Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi there, I've always been a windows user, but always loved my iPhones and I have just decided that I want to learn how to make apps for iOS using my VM Mac OS X. In Mac App Store, there is Xcode 4 for just £2.99. Is it all I need? I've never written anything myself, but now I want to make something myself. How do I start? I know there is tons of tutorials, but it seems like a rocket science to me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zSprawl Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I found learning Objective C was rather time consuming considering I already know HTML5, CSS3, and jquery. Sooooo I taught myself JQuery Mobile and started using Phonegap to port my webapps into the iTunes Store. I recommend it if you know web languages already.

Sooooo I taught myself JQuery Mobile and started using Phonegap to port my webapps into the iTunes Store. I recommend it if you know web languages already. It's time consuming because you've known web languages which differ from say C, C++, or even C#. I was coming from C++ and even with that, Obj-C had a bit of a steep learning curve for me to understand the ins and outs of it. @zYx You could check thenewboston.com he was how I got started with Obj-C and gained a general understanding of how to work around in Xcode a bit then I took off with books from there. People tend to redirect you to Apple Documents about Obj-C but I found without prior knowledge of the language, it was the equivalent of reading Latin for the first time in your life.
