How complicated is the iPhone SDK? Can I do a lot over the summer?
I want to learn and write a game for the iPhone? How complex is the SDK? Can I learn and use it to create a decent (but not very complicated) game over the summer? I've had a little experience with Python

To be honest its not as hard as it seems at first it may seem scary because you dont know whats going on.. but if your dedicated you can just learn the basics of objective-C read all of apple's documentations they helped me alot and watch a lot of youtube videos i only started developing two months ago and i have a fair but not professional understanding and on my way in developing my first app.

Hey Guys im a beginner also
How Far am i before i become a Professional Developer?
Rate me guys 1-100%??
I can read Objective C Code and know whats going on
I Can Write NSStrings and Pass them through AlertViews.
I Know the difference between Class Methods and Instance Methods
If you create a game you don't have to learn objective c. You can use several much easier to learn cross platform SDKs like Corona, GLBasic, Monkey, Airplay, Dragonfire...
The main benefit would be that you would develop you game once but can deploy it to several different platforms.

I taught myself how to code for the iPhone from scratch in about 6 months.You can get pretty far as iPhone programmer even if you dont have programming experience however it will take a lot of dedication, I've been sweating bullets and I've barely scratched the surface.
Hey everybody,
I am really glad that I found this site.
I am thinking about developing a small booking app (like websites which compare hotels in a certain city) for my bachelor thesis. However, I have never programmed in objective-c. I have progamming experience in Java and I also would have the code and the structure of the same app in android as a guideline.
Now my question is, if you as experienced developers think that I would be able to learn the language and programm the app within 3 months???

Came across Dragonfiresdk.com the other day, it looks interesting because i want to create apps for the iphone. has anyone tried it? want to know if its worth buying

take CoronaSDK instead. Its much easier and multiplatform.
by the way its free. you have to pay only when you ready to use it commercially.
I may not be a good example of the average beginner programmer - maybe I'm dumber than most - but it took me about 12 months from reading the first Apple dev document to finishing my first game app. I bought 2 books, did several tutorials, and viewed dozens of lecture videos. It was a struggle all the way.
I guess if you are smart, dedicated, and have some background, you could do it in 3 months if you worked at it every day like a full-time job.
Remember also that games are not just code. Games require a lot of extra media like graphics and sound, which are not easy to create and can take more time than coding.
If you do not have knowledge and experience with using graphics programs, you will have to spend more time learning that as well.

Learning IOS development one crash at a time.
I think it also depends on your past experience and how much time you can allocate to this every day/week...
I started reading iOS dev stuffs around April/May this year, then started my blog in June. Can only spend a few hours every week...
Based on my experience, I think "able to program in Objective-C" is still far far far away from "able to write a good/popular game". I only completed 3 small open source "simple" game and a few simple test projects so far, planning to release 4th game soon and just started learning Cocos2D.
It's definitely not as easy as I first thought, but I am enjoying it!
