Anima Templi 0 Junior Poster in Training

Hello,

I'm really interested in developing apps for iOS. I do already have everything setup and I'm ready to start programming. What I'm curious about is; Is it worth buying the apple developer account already? I don't have anything ready to release yet, but I have read that they also have a lot of starter material in the developing forums which you only have access to if you pay for the apple developer account. I don't want to pay 99$ for something I don't really need yet, or isn't worth paying for?

Do any of you have experience with this? Do any of you develop apps for iOS, if so, I will gladly take any recommendations?
