Ok Everybody, Help me out!!
I'm Novice programmer know C,C++ (currently learning Java).

I want to make app and games for Android and iOS.
There are ideas flowing into my head.
But I don't know where to start. I need Heads up.

In every programming language(C#, Objective C, Java). They start with If/else, array, string,OOP. But these basic concepts I already know.(Sometimes I want to bash my head)

How I can use this to make real world application, UI etc

if you want to learn how to develop android app why not learn from Google directly. And regarding Ios I do not have much idea.

For android you need Android Studio/Eclipse. First goto Android Developers , Get SDK, browse samples, Watch videos, Learn yourself.
For ios, you need XCODE which isnt free. You need to pay but the cost is discounted if you are a student.

Xcode is free I guess. Its available on Apple website.

Start here :
Unity - Learn - Modules
this is the best really, following these gives good idea about all the features in Unity, and gives a good grounding to start off with your own projects
everything is clearly and simply explained, with absolute knowledge of the engine

the other one I found useful is this channel
*www.youtube.com/user/Brackeys

[MENTION=145360]kunalht[/MENTION] also might have links to some great tutorials

you need to pay much moolah to publish apps on the app store
the software to interface with that app store is available only for Apple hardware, which is much more moolah

Exactly.. you can download and use XCODE for free,even create apps with it. But it you wanna test your apps in (your)iPhone or publish in app store, you need dev account. Its yearly fee.

You can test your apps in your iphone via Unity though and its free

Nope I was wrong, you cant.. ios really sucks in that regard

Before you can run Unity iOS games on the actual device, you will need to have your Apple Developer account approved and set up. This includes establishing your team, adding your devices, and finalizing your provisioning profiles.
