I have no previous experience of programming/coding etc, sabe for some bery basic BASIC and abit of html/css.

What is the best way to start learning how to write apps?
I haven't got any specific ideas for an app in mind but think I would like to have a go in general and see how I go.
Just have no idea where and how to start!

Avy help/suggestions/links appreciated :)
 
Ha:p good point!

Probably Android, but if one is easier than the others then at this stage i would go with that. I have access to devices running all three OS'es.
 
My recommendation would be to start learning python using coed acdemy. After that try pick up the basic understand of object orientated programming, what are classes, methods, and so on. Once you get those basics down I would recommend picking a platform that you have the most passion about and buying a nice book on it.

I personally wouldn't pay for an e-course, with programming, I find its best to just start on something, the desire to get things working will lead you down a great path and soon you will learn a lot. Just following a tutorial and writing code cause someone else is telling you doesn't really teach you much.

I personally started on Android after learning some basic OOP (object orientated programming) and a bit of Java/C++. It was really shaky at first but with resources online I got through it and actual made a semi-functional game. Now days Android has come a long way and it has tonnes of resources. Same with iOS, I wouldn't personally recommend WP as my friend is having a real tough time with it.

I'd say WP8 is easiest due to the superb and free Visual Studio, then the iPhone, then Android as Java will make you cry.
