Creating a Flash/facebook game or a iPhone App/Game?

[Luckyplantation646]

Hello,
I recently asked what I needed to know to program/create a Flash/facebook game or an iPhone App/Game, and thanks to Gamevil Press for replying with the specific programming information.

I was just wondering if I would need more, considering I'm at level 0 at programming. I'm also planning to run this alone. I'm planning to create a facebook game or/and an iPhone Game/App independently, in this case, will I need more than only the knowledge of programming, like design and anything to put the programming and everything else together to create the entire Application?

Do I also need to contact Facebook or Apple if I release anything for them, and if so, how do I? How do I set everything up once I'm done?

Also, I was wondering considering everything I will need for the project, how long do you estimate it will take me to learn everything I need for the project, seeing I have currently no knowledge ( But I am determined to learn and run the project ), and how long to make the Application itself?

Thank you very much,
Damian
