Hi there,
I am new to the mac and the iPhone. I have never programmed on either before. I have a good understanding of HTML and a small understanding of good old ASP and that is it. Not Great! I am looking to build apps for the iPhone. Could anyone recomend what would be the best way to learn how to do this?
I looked into books. I seemed to arrive at this book:
Beginning iPhone Development
But when I look at the first few pages off it i see the following:
"This book assumes that you have some programming language. It assumes..." and then goes on about what I should already have learned about Objective C and Cocoa. It also suggests that I know about objects, loops and variables.
It then says if you are new to Objective C to check out "Learn Objective C on the mac". So I did:
Learn objective C on the Mac.
I then looked at the first few pages off that to find:
"you should have some experience with a C like programming language such as C++, Java, or C itself." I know nothing about any of these. It then says "coming from a non C language? you may still be able to follow along but you may want to check out..." does this sound similar?
My question: How far down this line of books should I go if at all?
I also looked at online video tutorials. All the ones I tryed never worked out, either out of a typing error on there part or out of date information (new SDK version).
So what should I do?
Help would be appreciated
Best Regards
