Hello everyone!
This is my first post here so kindly forgive me if i am posting in the wrong place.
My name is Ryan and I have never used a Mac in my life
but am willing to change!
I am no stranger to programming, I have a little C/Java experience (long time ago) but presently program with PHP/JS with MySql and very familiar with AJAX/XHTML as well as Photoshop.
After reading a lot about the iphone and how its possible to make some $$ if you have some good ideas, i would like to give it a try... but just dont know where to start, even after searching google.
For example i know i need ot get a dev license for 99$ per year and i cant program on windows... so am totally scared if i throw $99 bucks away and time for nothing... not to mention maybe getting a new mac or VMWARE (told ya i've been searching google), doing it via a hackintosh(again google) aslo sounds good but can i then sell any app i make in the app store?
My questions:
How hard do you think it would be to learn to make some apps for the iphone with my above mentioned experience in software creation?
Can i sell apps i make on the app store if i craete it in a hackintosh? or do i totally have to buy a mac?
Do i need to have an iphone? (i dont have one)
Do i haev to code it like a php script or is there some sort of gui to drag and drop buttons and functionality?
Please note i am not looking to be the greatest iphone developer, am just looking to make something as simple as this:
bubbles keep coming up on the screen and you have to touch to burst them... after x seconds, i play a trumpet and show them a video at the same time which shows them which level they have reached.
Thats it, if i can make that i would have the confidence to tackle anything.
(ANY links to reading material would also be most appreciated, but please give me a link to a specific page not the homepage with 25 links...)
Thanks and sorry for my long post, esp since this is my first post
Cheers!
Ryan
