Welcome to the final day of the Creating iPad Apps eCourse!
On this final day we're going to tackle one of the biggest questions everyone has about making iPad apps: Do I need to know how to program?
One of the primary concerns that people have when they resolve to make money by creating iPad apps is how they'll actually be doing the creating. To be fair, it does involve some computer programming, which can be difficult for someone who has no experience in the field at all.
If you aren't familiar with APIs, libraries, functions, object-oriented programming as a whole, then you would have a fairly steep learning curve ahead of you as you attempt to undertake the creation of an app. By the same token, if you don't have a lot of experience creating computer graphics or sound files, you'll also have some obstacles to overcome.
Take comfort, though. Even if you can't ever see yourself becoming an artist or a computer programmer, this is still something that you can make money at, because you will always have the option of enlisting other people to do that kind of work for you, via outsourcing. Whatever choice you make in the end, deciding what work needs to be done, and who will be doing it, is the very first step of planning a successful app.
Programming experience would definitely be a plus should you decide that you want to try your hand at programming your iPad app yourself. If you've worked with C or C++ before, then you'll probably have some degree of familiarity with object oriented programming languages, which is what iPad apps are built with.
If, however, you haven't done any programming since the old days of BASIC and other linear languages, then you may well have to consider your experience obsolete. Object oriented programming is an entirely different beast from linear programming, and mastery over one would not necessarily translate to mastery over
the other.
If you have no real experience in programming, then you could always undertake to learn the discipline. It may seem daunting, but others have done it before, and there's no reason you can't do the same provided that you're committed and patient enough.
There are countless resources available for learning to program in C, C++, and Objective-C, the languages that are used in Apple's iPhone Software Development Kit. Apple even has a host of tutorials and instructive documents available on their website, in the developer's section.
If you're interested, head over to the developers section at http://developers.apple.com and register, it's totally free. Then you can have access to the aforementioned help files, as well as the SDK itself.
There's no harm in downloading it, reading through a few of the tutorials and seeing if things start to click. Who knows, you may have had the talent for programming all these years, and never knew about it until now.
See, you can make iPad apps regardless of your skill level and you can easily improve your skill level! To get the full scoop on creating awesome iPad applications you'll have to get our complete guide by following the link below:
