In this thread I'll be going over how to make your own apps for MacOSX and/or iPhone. I'll show you what you need to get started and I'll link you to some tutorials for n00bs!

Let's get started!

[multipage=Xcode] Xcode is an application that comes in the developers folder that if it's not on your mac already, you can download from the apple website. Xcode is everything you'll need to start making your apps for MacOSX or iPhone!

Downloading Xcode:

To download xcode you need a developer account. (It's free to create to an account). After you log in, go to iOS Dev Center, there it says downloads, and just download it!

Here's a video!

Xcode:

Xcode is as a complete, full-featured IDE built around a smooth workflow that integrates the editing of source code, with the build and compile steps, through to a graphical debugging experience - all without leaving the view of your source code.

The IDE does more than these traditional tasks, however. With the advent of the iOS SDK, Xcode can now manage all your testing devices, automatically packaging iPhone apps with the proper certificates, and installing apps on the iPhone itself. The remote debugger connects to the device in real-time, managing breakpoints as the app is controlled on the device.


Interface builder:

Xcode also has its own interface builder. In interface builder you design the graphical interface of your application.

Interface Builder is the easy-to-use graphical editor for designing every aspect of your iOS or Mac OS Xapplication’s graphical user interface. Interface Builder stores your user interface design in one or more resource files, as a set of interface objects and their relationships. Changes you make in the interface are automatically synchronized with Xcode. Interface Builder also makes it easy to drop in your own effects, including Quartz Composer animations.



iPhone simulator:

The iPhone Simulator runs your application in much the same way as an actual iPhone device. Because it is quick to launch and debug, the Simulator makes for a perfect test bed to make sure your user interface works the way you intend, your network calls are correct, and that the views change correctly when the phone rotates. You can even simulate touch gestures by using the mouse. The Simulator is a great time saver.
[multipage=Objective-C]

Objective-C is the primary language used to write Mac apps. This is the language you're going to be using most of the time.

Here are links to some tutorials of the basics of objective-c :

good thing you said it was for n00bs, because this is basic Objective C coding. Good job, though.

to tell you the truth, I'm a complete n00b at coding, I just know how to use this program, but I'm like a super n00b :cry:
