So I see all these apps and keep thinking, how hard is it to learn how to make one? I want to be rich too.

depends on what your making. what's really difficult is dealing with apple throughout the whole submittal and approval process. frustrating.

do you have any previous programming experience?
- Milan0
the app you're thinking of has already been made, or will be made by the time you learn how to make it

C++ -> Objective C -> iPhone

make one that's a mirror. I'd pay a few bucks for that.

I don't call myself a programmer, but I've learned AS3 and JS at a pretty good level, and dabbled in Java and PHP at times. I'm pretty good at learning stuff.

Someone who's tried it, tell me about your experience.

Crack open Objective C and see what happens.

it's a huge pain in the ass

How? Why?

Weren't you buying a mac? Development tools are there, just need to download SDK.

Sure, just wanted to get feedback from other designers/ developers types who might have tried, to see if it's even worth pursuing.
I guess one thing I'm wondered is, at a high level, how do you create the graphics? And what about something like 3D graphics?
- ********0
You need to understand the processor cost for the graphics. Basically not just making some cool app but making a good app that wont crash.

You have made app MrDinky?

Its not too bad actually, we're planning on releasing some simple apps and the guy who started programming for this isn't a real programmer but made his first app by checking out existing source and ways to access a database for example. made this app in a couple of weeks (between work) and its in the appstore now..

I didnt code it personally but made them using programmers
Thats why there are so many apps out there that burns up speed and memory and pron to crash.

How do I create graphics for an app? Is it all in code or is there some kind of visual way to do it?
- ********0
You build it in PSD like anything else or you use the SDK graphics library. Its all in the SDK.
- ********0
Even if you are designing an app, you have to understand what types of graphics costs. Understanding and exploring the SDK is the key.

Do any of you have apps on sale in the store or on web?
