The iPhone universe is growing by leaps and bounds, and developers are rushing to the platform to create all sorts of applications. If you're interested in developing your own iPhone apps, become a certified Apple Developer for $99 a year. Developing for the iPhone does require some programming knowledge, however. You'll need to learn with the Objective-C and Cocoa Touch languages.
Instructions
1. Open your Web browser and visit Apple's iPhone Dev Center.
2. Register as an Apple Developer and pay the $99 yearly fee. Paying the fee allows you to sell your applications in the App Store.
3. Download the official iPhone software developers kit (SDK) from the iPhone Dev Center. This package includes Xcode, the application you'll write code in, and the iPhone Simulator, which lets you run your iPhone application on your computer.
4. Read a few tutorials on Objective-C and Cocoa Touch. Taragana' Simple Thoughts blog has a great collection of tutorials and Stanford University freely offers materials from its CS 193P iPhone development class online.
