I am interested in app development, however i have no previous coding experience and i am a beginner. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could start?
Some more information is required in order to help guide you in your quest for app domination!
What platform would you like to develop apps for? Android, iOS, Windows, Web, etc..
If you want to develop apps for Android you would need to learn the Java programming language.
iOS(iPhone, iPad) apps are coded in Objective-C.
With web applications you have a lot of options: PHP, Python, Java, etc.
You're not going to be able to start cranking out apps right away, you're going to have to dedicate a lot of time to learning your chosen language first. After you become decent with your coding skills you'll be able to start developing small apps or look into frameworks(libraries of code, tools, etc) to help ease your workflow.
I really enjoy http://www.lynda.com/ for tutorials on learning different languages, building apps, etc. But there are multiple free resources out there, there are even some threads here with links to coding sites/tutorials.
Thanks for the help, and i meant Android. By the way is there a gui method of doing this which would avoid the need for learning code?
Ah, I see... There seem to be some solutions for creating apps without coding knowledge but I can probably safetly assume that they aren't going to be nearly as good or powerful as an app that has been coded by hand.

Depends for example the SDK and tools can be installed for free but you will have to pay a registration free for Google it's $25 one time only. BUt for APPLE they're a little stupid if you dev for iOS or Mac the free is seperate from each other and so that free is $99 a year every year (y). Overall, tool kits can be installed for almost nothing or just for free.
Take a look at these tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2F07DBCDCC01493A
TNB was a great starting point for me. Also you'll need a good basic knowledge of Java and programming if you dont want to make the same mistake I did when I started out.
Use the Android Developers pages for a good guide on the sdk and some training.
And you'll probably want to use Stack Overflow for all your questions you'll most probably have
Also if you want to, you can take a look at some of my work if you want: https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Timmo
Thank you very much guys!
I've now begun using compilr.com, it's quite easy to use. ( Learning Java).
