Apps have been called the next Gold Rush; billions of dollars are being made every year by these small little phone apps An app in iTunes top 100 is said to generate over $100,000 in income; a free app supported by ads can generate as much as $10,000 a month.
So what is an app? To put it simply, an app is an application that goes on your phone (or in Apples case, also on your iPod Touch or even iPad).
There are all kinds of reasons why you might need to make an app; looking at the figures above, it’s easy to say that you’d like to earn some extra money. Another incentive is the potential to market your business in a territory most companies haven’t considered.
The fact is, while major corporations are on the iPhone, medium and smaller size ones are not; the reason is, in the past, it’s been too expensive. iPhone Developers (which are the programmers that design the apps) usually charge $60 to $200 an hour. What this book will show you, however, is you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars—with limited or no skills you can build your own app.
The native language of i phone apps s C; this is a complex computer language that takes months to learn, and years to master. iPhone Developers are paid well for a reason—they are highly skilled programmers. But it’s not a lost cause! This book will show you a second approach that is much easier to learn—so easy, in fact, that you’ll have it down in just hours.
This book assumes you know nothing about programming. It’s a simple approach to App development that will help you create your first app in less than a day. more info

Build a IPhone App in Less than an Hour
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Gives what it promises and nothing more. Gives you recipe for building very simple, I emphasize, very simple iphone app. It is actually a typing exercise, not programming exercise. Many spelling errors. Should have been an article in a Blog or Webpage.
It’s a rip off – NOT IPAD BOOK – it’s HTML
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I figured for $3.99, how bad could it be? The answer – horrible. I never write bad reviews, but if you buy this expecting to have a quick tutorial for writing a simple iPad app, you will be disappointed. All you will learn is to pay more attention before you press the one click button. THIS IS NOT AN IPAD PROGRAMMING BOOK – that is the key thing. sure it did not cost any more than a lunch at a fast food restaurant, but still it’s no fun to get ripped off. If he had listed it as an HTML book, then perhaps my review would have been better, but then again i would not have purchased it.
Not an App, just an HTML display
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This can be read in 15 minutes and is only an explanation of how to make a simple HTML page, run it through an Apple tool to make it display on the iphone/ipod as an app (loosly speaking). There is no discussion (or little) of HTML, C, Object C, the development environment, Cocoa or pretty much anything that would help you make a REAL App for the iPhone. Far too little info, even for $3.99. You would be far better served by going to the free resource on [...].
