Its kick here, and I have been striving to teach myself programming knowledge. I try to use YouTube videos, but none of them seem to help.
My main goal is to create an app for the iOS, but I have no idea how to even get that started.
Later on, if I turn out to be good at programming, I plan to produce a minecraft mod.
If anyone could help me that would be great! Just send me a PM and I'll give you Skype information or some program similar to it.
Oh and if you help me I would be in your debt, which will be re-paid in some form!
Well, I'm not here for the tutoring application, but I have things to say.
Minecraft mods and iOS applications run off of different languages, I don't know what iOS uses, probably some C variant.
You should probably make the Minecraft mod first. It will be easier (depending on what it is, of course) because the source code is already there for the full game. I don't really know how the iOS apps work, but probably you start off with a clean slate, and write an app for it. I'm not sure though.
Books are a great source to learn, Java Primer Plus 2 is a good one to start out with. There is also free Ivy League tutoring online, from Youtube. Just type in "stanford coding" or something like that. It's for Java, which is what Minecraft uses.
What language do you specifically want to learn? This probably should be my first question, but I didn't think of it. Java and C# are both good languages to start out with, and are common and have many people who can help you with issues that you might have.
I think you can make iOS apps solely with HTML5 (although I'm not sure), but it would require paying $99/month for an Apple Developer account...
I have no idea what language iOS apps use. I'd be surprised if it was HTML5 (isn't that like HTML where it is used on web pages? Correct me if I'm wrong) but I don't know. Also, $99 a MONTH? What?! They make YOU money, (Apple takes like 60% or so of the revenue of each sale) and they still charge for the Developer account?
I think you should learn C++ first, its sort of like the base language, in which you can learn other languages from it. I'd be willing to help with C++.

Another reason why I can hate Apple.
iOS uses C variants: e.g.: objective C, C, C++. Although you can embed LUA in the C-whatever and use LUA if you wanted. I think Apple is changing their policys so you could use mono to run .net stuff, but I'm not sure on the legitimacy of that one.
They use Objective-C, but I remember reading somewhere you can write iOS apps in HTML5 and Javascript too. And it may've been $99/year, but I honestly don't remember (I just steer clear of anything Apple-related if I can possibly help it).
You'll probably want to learn Java to be able to make Minecraft mods.
If you want to learn to make iOS apps for free, you will have the following problems (You might notice a recurring pattern):
To make them you a specific IDE, called Xcode.
To get Xcode you need to have an Apple Developer account, which costs something like $99/year.
To run Xcode and actually start making iOS apps, you need to run OS X.
To run OS X, you need specific computers made by Apple (i.e. a Mac), which may or may not be priced in ways that agree with you.
Regardless of what you choose, search up "thenewboston" on YouTube; he has some good tutorials on Java, as well as iOS development, Objective-C, HTML5, and Javascript (the last 3 of which can be used to make iOS apps).
Isn't the only difference between Java and Javascript the "var" variable? Or am I completely wrong in saying that? If I'm right, then why do people shun Javascript?

The difference between Java and JavaScript is essentially everything, except for the name.

Java and Javascript are completely different, except for the name. And people don't shun it. They shun people who get the two confused.

I shun ECMAScript because I dislike the idea of a prototypical language.
