Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a new challenge and after a bit of brainstorming I think delving into Android and IOS app development could be the way forward.

I have no experience, but everyone has to start somewhere I guess?

I have a very logical thought process and I would like to start to learn some of the basics, maybe Objective C or COCOA.

I know i probably sound very green (which I am), however any help would be greatly appreciated in directing me down this career path.

Thanks!

Michael

For Android development check out http://www.basic4ppc.com - much simpler learning curve compared to Eclipse & Java.

Although the odds of winning lotto maybe better. But I guess it all comes down to the idea, and marketing.
