How to Start learning to create iphone apps

I only know basic Python as far as programing languages go.

What do I need to learn to start developing iPhone apps?

I learned part python with almost only learnpythonthehardway.org
and that wasn’t too difficult. I am confident I can learn how to make apps but need to know where to continue. i asked around where to start and people said to learn python so i did but now what to do after that.

I have the newest MBP to work on.

I don’t have much interest in the app store i just want to have some fun and stuff like this is what i enjoy doing

I realize people say this is a duplicate someone changed my title and didn’t read what i had to say here I want to know where i would continue mostly all other things about this have been closed as well so its hard to get answers

Welcome to the wonderful world of programming. Seriously, as you’ve probably seen it can be a lot of fun. Starting young is the way to go!

iPhone development is going to be harder than learning the basics of Python, but not unachievable.

One of the problems that you are going to have, is that the tools are not as widely available or as free as Python. You will need:

1. A mac of some sort (must have an intel processor too, so not an old mac)
2. An iPhone developer account ($99 a year)
3. A copy of XCode (comes free with the account)

Then you need a good book, i used ‘Beginning iPhone 4 Development” which has an introduction to objective-c in it.

If that sounds a bit too expensive for something you’re not sure you’d enjoy – you could try downloading a free objective-c compiler and learning the language first before committing to that stuff.
