Do you want to make your own iPhone app, but don’t know how to get started? Well, Luke Kilpatrick not only runs San Francisco’s Photoshop and Fireworks user groups, but he designs apps for a living and he shows how you can get started without writing any code or doing anything too hard. Yes, it’s only a mockup, but if you get it started like this then you can try it out on your friends to see if they are interested before spending tons of cash on a development team.
