Some knowledge of another programming language, preferably Objective-C. The following link is a link to a wikibook that covers Objective C Programming.

Apple has a Mac App Store where it can sell your Mac apps for you and they will pay you 70% of the proceeds. The Mac App Store is available for users of Mac OS X, 10.6 and later by choosing from the Apple menu 'App Store...'.

In general, this text is written to be followed in order from start to finish except that if you have experience in C, C++, Java or Python, you are encouraged to look at the relevant section of the Appendix to orient you to developing for Mac OS X and Cocoa.
