I want to develop apps but all the information on how to create a quality app seems to be hard to find and slightly esoteric. Even the book I bought, essentially tells the reader how to create a limited number of apps using an app designed to create apps. It seems like this abstraction away from true creative power is becoming popular in the tech industry.

learn obj-c or swift today.
learn java for android.

building an app only requires two things, an idea + skills.
however, timing is usually key. too much clones and the saturation is too much.

do not expect to be a zuck overnight. being a skilled developer takes time.
build projects daily, learn git.
code everyday for at least 4 hours.

if it already sounds too hard, then this path is not for you.
you talk about "esoteric" information, there's a reason for this.
everybody wants to build the next great app. uber, dropbox, etsy, yelp, etc.
but you need to understand that learning to code != easy money.
yes, developing a big hit would be extremely lucrative.
but it takes a lot of time, effort, and dedication.

if you started coding when you were 12, how much better do you think you would be than if you had just started to code now?

a lot better, but that's a lot of time you have to make up for.

there are plenty of resources online. i noticed coding bootcamps are getting more popular now. not saying that they are bad, but the best developers i know were self taught. but people learn different so if you want to go to one, make sure that you really want to go.
