There is an MIT course available through iTunes that will teach you the basics of setting up an iPhone application, but it's a few years old. There are quite a few books out there on writing Objective-C applications in X-Code. The Apple docs are a good place to start. Most of these things assume a basic understanding of programming concepts (functions, classes, objects, recursion, models, views, controllers, etc...) Somthing to think about: most new mobile apps are designed to run on iOS and Android, so you'll want to learn both platforms, or find a framework that can compile your app to run on both platforms. It's a dark and twisted path your venturing down. I wish you the best of luck. -- Aaron On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 2:32 PM, Margaret Miller <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Just to clarify my request further.
