HTML pages in iPhone apps. Where to start?

I'm looking to create a small reference app. It has a UItabBar and 4 views that each load a UITableView which can be drilled down to display, essentially a page of information and pictures, like a book.

If I want to make the page a little more stylised than just using labels and image views, the common consensus seems to be to create HTML pages and load them in a web view.

Being new to this, please could someone give me some direction on where to even begin with this? As I understand it, I essentially need to develop a web page with a text editor, and then what? Actualy upload online and create a public website? It's a little confusing, and as I'm not a developer, a little disheartening to think开发者_高级运维 I'll now have to learn HTML as well as Obj-C to create a simple app.

I'm sure there are some great tools or alternatives out there and if someone could recommend such avenues I'd be incredibly grateful.

Kind regards,

Ryan

If you want to display HTML pages in a UIWebView you can store them in your bundle and display them from there (so no need to put the pages online). It is best though to stick with the UI controls that Apple provides you with. If you need more customization try subclassing some of the standard controls.

If you customize your UI too much it will just confuse the user and degrade their experience.
