How to develop software for Haiku OS?

I am using Haiku, since two months. It was a great experience but I’ve seen a lack of good apps. That’s why I thought of developing apps for Haiku. I need someone who can just throw some lights, how to do this and what software I will need. I will try my best to make Haiku a modern age Operating System. Thanks.

Perhaps this will help: http://clasquin-johnson.co.za/michel/haiku/blog/2014/why-you-should-be-writing.html Just ignore the references to Haikuware - That site no longer exists.
