You are welcome.

You need a Mac to use that though which is only about 5% of users so unless you have a Mac you'll have to go installing it on a partition after installing OSx which is a hell of a long pain in the ass and a lot of downloading.

Yep, developing for iOS is the worst experience ever.

You need a mac (or just the os on dual boot), this is a requirement, there is no way to develop iOS apps in windows or linux.

Also, objective-c is pretty ugly (rather cool but very, very ugly). Message passing rather than the usual parameter concept.

Since its pretty much mac-only, the entire language, you're basically forced to become an apple-only dev. Nobody else uses the language, it'll only ever come in useful to make iOS apps (smart move by apple).

Ya which is why it's so hard to port stuff like Games to Android or from Android to iOS.

If the site it's too complicated you can use PhoneGap (their are other similar programs but this is the most used). You make a website in HTML and it converts it to an App. A huge amount of simpler sites are made this way.

Also Cocoa.

iOS can be the worst way to start off with coding tbh.

Before answering your question, do you know any programming languages at all ? Any experience ? If your answer is no, then my dear friend, forget about iOS apps. Its too long.
