Writing Apps for iPhone/iPad

I have been thinking of ways of making money whilst still holding down a full time job. My first objective is to figure out how to make £1k per month net.

This flappy birds guy is reported as making $50000 per day. I am pretty sure I could teach myself to code apps (I learned to code Java at university). Has anyone tried to do this part time? I wondering if I could create an app that just might net me a grand a month....

    All depends on your ideas, not your coding.

    Who could have predicted that a Tetris clone involving displacing sweets would be so popular ... ?

    What about dreaming up the idea and outsourcing the code development? There is lots of information around on marketing and dealing with the app store.... perhaps its a waste of time to spend time writing code when it could be outsourced.
