Hey guys, I'm looking to aggressively pursue application development. I do have limited to no application development experience (ltd. would be AP Comp Sci in highschool, and a little PHP in previous job).
I'm a quick learner, and my ideas for apps are solid. A few questions:
1) What have you found to be the best resources for learning as quickly as possible? What books should I invest in? What other tools?
2) Is there a way to see if an idea I've conceived would be rejected by the App Store prior to developing it?
3) All of the ideas I've got do not require 3G or GPS - is there any other reason why it would be more benificial to buy a 3G iphone for development over getting a used 1st Gen?
3.1) Does it have to be active on a phone plan in order to develop on it?
3.2) Do all iphone activations, including 1st gen iphone with a new activation, use the $30 policy, or can I still get the non-3G plan for $200 including 200 texts on a newly purchased used 1st gen?
4) What is the processing time to get approved as a developer, and to get an app, once submitted, approved?
Guys, thanks so much for all your help!
