This beats the story I read about the makers of RedEye, the iPhone app, who made tons of money from uber-geeky coding (they cracked the problem of bar code scanning on the first generation iPhone, which had a camera without auto-focus). In stark contrast to that there story is that of Derek James of Polyclef Software. Ph.D. in Cognitive Science, undergrad in English / no coding background / has published word games and puzzles on the Android Market / has over 300,000 downloads of his apps / will exceed six figures in income this year.
Tim Bray does a neat little interview with the man here.

For someone with zero real world coding experience, this sounds like the promised land.
I have but one question.
Do you have to type in #include c.h to get this Java thing going? :-s
