Have an idea to make a children's app but have no clue how to do it.
: \
I've been programming every day for twenty years (****!). Multiple languages, platforms, databases, frameworks, big clients etc. etc. yada yada
I have never found anything as hard as developing a ****ing app. And from what I've read it is even harder for Android! (which is exactly why iOS versions are always released first)
XCode is like a cross between a normal IDE, where you work in code only, and something like 3D Studio Max, where there are buttons and layers and tabs and hieroglyphics and such all over the place. And that makes it, for me, fuuuucking confusing. Give me the code! The combination of the two makes it harder, not easier. Do I write code here, or do I go all click and draggy? No idea.
I found it a
very steep learning curve and frankly would never suggest it as a language/environment to learn in. I would recommend VB, Ruby, Python or whatever, but you ain't gonna write an app in those.
