Well you start by buying a Mac, then buying a developers' license (RMS
appears to have been quite prophetic in this regard), and downloading
the latest Xcode IDE.  And a book or two?

That's really the only way.  It's Apple's way.  Their tools.

Android is a bit more accessible, and available on Linux.  Download the
SDK from google, get a book or two, read a tutorial, and give it a shot.
 It's Java in the Eclipse IDE, and the paradigms and program lifecycles
in Android are a bit different from what you might already be familiar with.
