Build a iPhone App in Less than an Hour

Apps have been called the next Gold Rush; billions of dollars are being made every year by these small little phone apps. An app in iTunes top 100 is said to generate over $100,000 in income; a free app supported by ads can generate as much as $10,000 a month. So what is an app? To put it simply, an app is an application that goes on your phone (or in Apples case, also on your iPod Touch or even iPad). There are all kinds of reasons why you might need to make an app; looking at the figures above, it’s easy to say that you’d like to earn some extra money. Another incentive is the potential to market your business in a territory most companies haven’t considered. The fact is, while major corporations are on the iPhone, medium and smaller size ones are not; the reason is, in the past, it’s been too expensive. iPhone Developers (which are the programmers that design the apps) usually charge $60 to $200 an hour. What this book will show you, however, is you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars—with limited or no skills you can build your own app. The native language of iPhone Apps is C; this is a complex computer language that takes months to learn, and years to master. iPhone Developers are paid well for a reason—they are highly skilled programmers. But it’s not a lost cause! This book will show you a second approach that is much easier to learn—so easy, in fact, that you’ll have it down in just hours. This book assumes you know nothing about programming. It’s a simple approach to App development that will help you create your first app in less than a day.
