How much experience is necessary to develop for iOS?

I want to start learning but am not sure where to start. Should I learn basic programming language before I start, or will I be able to learn as I go?

The skills are not trivial. Pay for the program and get into the resources in the Dev Center. Start with Cocoa...books on it are ok (see iTunes/iTunes U and coding iBooks from Apple), but printed books off the rack for iOS dev'ing are just a good way to waste money - they are outdated, written against beta code and there is no way the authors support their customers...they all end up wandering the internet for help.
See this link:
iPhone Developer Beginner Resource Guide
Good luck in any case.

  • How much is the Blackberry Playbook developing license?

    Hi, I want to know how much is the license to develop AIR Apps for Blackberry Playbook and to publish them on the Blackberry Store.
    For example... for iOS Apps the fee is of 99$ by year.... and for the Blackberry store?
    Bye and thanks

    Hi Mark. There are a few things to install and you need to register as a vendor for the app world - but it's all fairly straightforward. Here's an excellent link from the BlackBerry PlayBook forum. One of the guys there goes through everything you need in a real good level of detail.

    It's well worth registering on the forum too.
    Good luck !

  • My iMac (late 2010 model) desktop's hard drive is fried (was about 200GB). How much am I expecting to pay for a new one and retrieve my information?

    My iMac (late 2010 model) desktop's hard drive is fried (was about 200GB). How much am I expecting to pay for a new one and retrieve my information?

    As you can see Erin, trying to recover information from a hosed drive can be very expensive. 
    I would suggest first the OWC site as well. You can get a new drive of choice in size there.
    I would also get the voyager  http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/VOYQHDB1.0T/
    and..
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Prosoft%20Engineering/DGDR3BUN/
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/TOOLKIT11/
    Wth your lap top and these folllowing tools your are set to change out the drive, reload OS and then with
    the voyager pop in the old iMac drive and with the Prosoft software, try to mount and recover the files. Data Rescue is very good at this " if " the drive is not totally mechanically hosed. Drive Genius is very good at a number of things too. Nothing replaces the old adage of Back Up Back up Back up.
    The voyage I listed can become the new backup drive for you.. your choice of tools: Time Machine or by cloning via CarbonCopyCloner or by what I use SuperDuper! IF you want to be really kewl.. both. By that I mean cloning and Time Machine.
    It will take you an hour to swap out the drive and spring clean the iMac.. there is a hundred how too,s on you tube.
    Hope this helps. Remember if is always when a drive will fail..they all do. I tell the people I support that Harddrives are good for 15 min.. to when they don't work. They will all fail.
    Apple Geniuses are very limited to what they can and will do as far as file recovery.
    Your best bet is to try to do it your self first. There is lots of help out here and you are not the first.

  • How much HD space should I partician for Windows XP?

    I am upgrading to a new (2010) iMac i5 with 1 TB HD and I was wondering how much disc space I should make for Windows XP? I only have a couple of special apps that I use in Windows and the attending files do not take up much space so other than the OS I may not need too much, but would appreciate a little starting point. Thanks.

    I got this mixed up with my Shakespearean readings. I should be partition. I hit the key before reading.

  • How to start listener in sql developer for remote debug

    how to start listener in sql developer for remote debug ? Since the new version 1.1.0.23 is different with the old version for remote debug, I don't know how to start the listener on the new version for remote debug.
    even follow the user guide below and not work . Experts on sql developer please help me with this.
    Remote Debugging
    To debug a procedure or function for a connection where the database is on a different host than the one on which you are
    running SQL Developer, you can perform remote debugging.
    Remote debugging involves many of the steps as for local debugging; however, do the
    following before you start the remote debugging: Use an Oracle client such as SQL*Plus to issue the debugger connection command. Whatever
    client you use, make sure that the session which issues the debugger connection commands is the same session which executes your PL/SQL
    program containing the breakpoints.
    For example, if the name of the remote system is remote1, use the following SQL*Plus command to open a
    TCP/IP connection to that system and the port for the JDWP session:
    EXEC DBMS_DEBUG_JDWP.CONNECT_TCP('remote1', '4000'); The first parameter
    is the IP address or host name of the remote system, and the second parameter is the port number on that remote system on which the debugger
    is listening.
    Right-click the connection for the remote database, select Remote Debug, and complete the information in the Debugger - Attach
    to JPDA dialog box. Then, follow the steps that you would for local debugging (for example, see Debugging a PL/SQL Procedure).
    Debugger - Attach to JPDA This dialog box is displayed when you right-click a database connection name and select Remote Debug.
    Use this
    dialog box if you are using the Sun Microsystem's Java Platform Debugger Architecture (JPDA) and you would like the debugger to listen so
    that a debuggee can attach to the debugger.
    For more information about remote debugging, see Remote Debugging.
    Host: Name or IP address of
    the remote host on which SQL Developer should listen for the database to connect.
    Port: Listening port number on the remote host. You can
    choose any valid port number that is not in use by another process.
    Timeout: The number of seconds that SQL Developer will wait for the
    remote database to make a debugging connection. Don't Show Dialog Box Before Connecting: If this option is checked, this dialog box will not
    be displayed before future connections for remote debugging

    You're not the only one:

    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application SuperDuper. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html  You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

  • How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video?

    If I'm using FCE:
    1) How much external disk space is needed for editing HD video:
    if I downloaded 150mins of HD video? and
    do editing with it which will have an output of 120mins.
    Now PC, going to a MAC user soon   Windows XP  

    Hi(bonjour)!
    As a rule of thumb for HDV editing, use those numbers:
    12 to 15 meg/second for capturing ( your project is 150 minutes long, so 780 meg/minute, or 117 to 125 Gig).
    If you do any editing, add transition, video effect, add 12 to 15 meg /second to the total.
    As your project will have to be rendered for the print to tape operation, calculate 12 to 15 meg/second for all the length of your final movie. Add this amount to the total. (example: a 60 minutes movie : 49 Gig).
    If you want to burn a DVD on your Mac, calculate 3 to 4 meg/second for downconversion to DV material if you check "self-contained" in quicktime export dialog. (example: your finished project is 60 minutes long : 10.8 Gig)
    iDVD itself needs 3 to 4 times this amount if you want flawless operation.
    Finally, if you use your internal hard disk for all this storage (it's not a good idea to capture on the same drive where Mac OS X belongs), your Mac OS needs some spare room to breath (doing caching, etc), and your hard drive must have a least 25% of free space to avoid file's fragmentation.
    As hard drive's price drop, get the maximum size you can afford. 250 Gig is a good choice if you want to do just one project of 90 to 150 minutes at the time.

  • How much do you get paid annually for this job User Interface Designer?

    how much do you get paid annually for this job User Interface Designer?

    Apple probably will not discuss salaries even for specific jobs other than with applicants. If you wish to discuss salaries, you'll most likely have to apply for a specific position and then get beyond the initial screening.
    This issue has nothing to do with Apple Remote Desktop, the topic of this forum, by the way.

  • I need to publish a magazine in arabic and english - what should I buy - for how much to use 15 mac books for my students to use indesign?

    I need to publish a magazine in arabic and english - what should I buy - for how much to use 15 mac books for my students to use indesign?

    You can only return the machine if you're within 14 days of purchase - otherwise you're just 'stuck' with what you purchased (unless you sell it, of course).
    I always recommend that Retina owners order 16GB of RAM as the RAM is not upgradable - it's soldered onto the logic board.
    Your call - if you're with 14 days of purchase, take it back and exchange for a 16GB model. Or sell it and buy a model with 16GB. The higher amount of memory will allow you to run far more memory-hungry apps concurrently.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
