Hey there Aurelian,

To be able to develop iOS apps and whatnot, you'll need Xcode IDE, which can be easily downloaded from the Mac OS app store, but you need to be running a Mac OS (I think). Since you're running Windows, you'll most probably have to run/emulate a Mac OS on a virtualbox (VMware and Vagrant). It's relatively easy and free, but it requires some reading and some trial and error to get use to it, but once everything is set and running, the possibilities are endless. It might look overwhelming, but it really isn't. A quick google/youtube search should point you on the right track.

I personally prefer Vagrant, which I use to run Ubuntu on my mac, but I've heard good things about VMware.
