Learning to develop OSX apps

[Barks]

Hi guys

Can anyone advise how long it would take me to learn how to develop simple apps for OSX?

I don't work in IT and studied Economics at Uni but as a youngster I learnt Visual/QBasic to quite an advanced level and at present have a reasonable understanding of PHP. No, I'm not a programming expert but I do have some grass roots experience of coding.

I couldn't sleep last night and was thinking about this because there are quite a few Apps I would love to see developed on my phone and if a couple of hours over the next few months is enough to get me at a stage where I can code them then this would be fantastic.

Feel free to kill the dream if realistically it would take me months and months of 8-12 hours a day type stuff to master

Cheers

Sorry guys I wasn't thinking clearly, I meant IOS Apps.

Thanks for the response once I've sorted this ghastly problem I'm dealing with (see my thread in Hardware) I'll have a gander.

Cheers

Check out iTunes U Stanford iOS7 development course, it goes through everything and the lecturer is pretty good.

I'm half way through the first lecture.

I'm not sure if down the line I'm going to get stuck though as he makes a point about the prerequisites. I've got basic experience with MVC when I tried to build a CMS last year.
