Even you are new to programming

There are many ways to make an iPhone apps and one of them is to the coding yourself. If you are a programmer or at least have some knowledge and experience in programming, then creating an apps will not be a problem for you. The only problem that you need to address is to figuring how to use the knowledge you already have (or haven't) and apply them into use.

Matt Campbell, an iPhone app developer and instructor has come out with a complete course in teaching you how to build iPhone apps that sell. Matt is the owner of a company, App Store LLC that creates and iPhone apps on App Store. After much persuasions from his students and clients, he came out with a course that teaches how to develop an app more quickly but with less pain and more fun. He even created this course so that people with not programming knowledge could also benefit from it. Again Nathan learned programming from zero when he created his bestseller 'iShoot'.

By the way, to assist you in building your first apps, Matt has thrown in:
The Code Toolbox
This is the stuff that contains examples of how to do almost everything that you need in C and Objective-C including: loops, arrays, functions, variables, classes and objects, categories, protocols, etc You will also see Cocoa-Touch examples including: buttons, sliders, date pickers, sending emails with attachments and much more.
One big piece is the SQLite wrapper class that I have included here: all the code is written for you to access SQLite data to store and retrieve strings, numbers and blobs (binary data).

Kewl Tees iPhone App
This is a fully realized iPhone app that you can use as a template. Kewl Tees shows you how to use a SQLite database to store and retrieve images, strings and numbers for a fictional tee shirt product line. The app shows off the iPhone's beautiful table view customizations, tab bar functions and robust data persistence model.

This is the original app that Matt came out and which has kept his business going over the past year. He has polished, commented and organized everything so you could use this for your own utility app. By using this model, you will be able to reduce your development time on your first app drastically.

Source Code from the Course
Done! and myBooks are complete iPhone apps that are used as examples in the book. They have everything set up already and all the source code is included with helpful comments. The Done! app is a typical utility app that you can use as a template right now and myBooks is a easy to follow example of how to implement the MVC design pattern in code and Interface Builder.
