I want to be a developer but have no experience

Hey Adkins,

here's a small but important thing can share with you:

it's not enough to just read all those e-books. Practice is really important. Install Xcode, run the code in the e-book, and verify your understanding.

Doing so will help get closer to becoming a good developer.

You can learn how to code for iOS from books and tutorials, but unless you do something like enroll in a programming course that teaches you the fundamentals and principles of design and code, then the chances are you won't achieve your goal to become a good developer, you'll be somebody who can create an iOS app but is probably designed like crap and implemented terribly and is working tenuously and will fall apart with a slight change. If it works as you intended maybe that doesn't matter to you, but you did say good developer was your goal as opposed to a goal of being able to develop an iOS app.

Sorry to sound so negative, but it's just the truth.

Where should I begin and what steps should I take?

Start with a degree in computer science from a good university.
