Is creating an iPhone tutoring app based off of a textbook considered plagiarism?

I had been thinking about creating an iPhone app that would be based off of my beginning accounting class by summarizing/ paraphrasing the chapters in the textbook into easily understandable 'lessons' that cover those chapters.

my accounting textbook happens to actually be a compilation of chapters from many different books from various authors. If I'm determined to make this iPhone tutoring app, what would be the necessary steps to take in order to avoid being sued?

Put everything in your own words (unless it's an equation which you can't really rewrite). Make sure to site your sources. I don't know much about creating an app but I'm pretty sure that will be okay as long as you don't put anything verbatim. Hope this helps!

No- you need permission from the publisher. If you're going to sell the app, the publisher will get a share of the profits.

  • What is the process of creating an iPhone app? I'm new to programming anything, but am keen to learn from the beginning if I have to. I just wanted to know what is the process I should follow to become an iPhone app developer? Should I start with C++, C#, or can I jump directly to Objective-C?
  • What is the minimum Mac required for creating an iPhone app? I'd like to try my hand at creating iPhone Apps. I'm looking on Craigslist to purchase a Mac, but I'm overwhelmed with all the choices? I'm looking to spend as little as possible. I'm also not very familiar with Macs, so am pretty clueless when it comes to knowing what model I need to start creating iPhone apps.
