The first step in the process of learning to develop iOS 5 based iPhone applications involves gaining an understanding of the differences between Registered Apple Developers and iOS Developer Program Members. Having gained such an understanding, the next choice is to decide the point at which it makes sense for you to pay to join the iOS Developer Program. With these goals in mind, this chapter will cover the differences between the two categories of developer, outline the costs and benefits of joining the developer program and, finally, walk through the steps involved in obtaining each membership level.
