When I start learning programming I was "completely non-technical" too. Give your non-technical friend a few years and you will see what she can do if she is really interested in making games. I bet you were in the same situation at some po

Great post. You should never identify yourself with what you do. You could do anything you want if are passionate about something, ignore everyone claims you can't.

This is how I think it should be done: 1. Make a really good app. 2. Write a blog about it. 3. Promote the app on Twitter, FaceBook etc ... 4. Answer to all user complaints and solve any bug they found for free (update the app). 5. Repeat.

You should learn to code and learn other "stuff" related to computer usage (in principle how to use your operating system and a text editor) in the same time. This is how I started. (As a side note, my first programming was Fortran, but thi

What kind of license has your application ? I've found a single Kwerty repo on Github with no license mentioned or copyright. You should always use a license for your software and state clearly who owns the copyright for this.

I suggest you to do a search after iOS 5 on Amazon and check the comments before buying a book. I'd stay away from any of the Appress books on Objective-C, iOS, etc ... low quality of information and a lot of typos. Personally I don't have

For your level of experience I would go would go with Kochan - Programming in Objective-C 4th edition. There is also a free course for iPhone programming from Stanford (video lectures). MonoTouch is a good alternative if you prefer to use

It depends, if your background is in dynamic languages like Perl, Ruby, Python than using Ruby for iOS makes a lot of sense. On the plus side Ruby is better for programmer productivity. If you have a good background in C than yes, using Obj
