The Apple dev site makes it look as tho it has all the tools you want for developing iPad apps. Should I consider any other tools outside the Apple development tools for iPad development?
Thanks so much in advance for your help!

If you don't join the Apple Developer Program, you can still build and run your app on your devices using free provisioning. However, the capabilities available to your app, described in Adding Capabilities, are restricted when you don't belong to the Apple Developer Program.
iOS development is worth it because it lets you be creative and a problem-solver, two important skills that can lead to a fulfilling career but two that aren't always found in a single position.
MonoTouch is another option, if you're a .NET developer looking to do iPhone/iPad development. (Currently MonoTouch has experimental, alpha-level support for iPad, but full support shouldn't be far away.) It's not free, but it's a great tool if you're coming from that background.
Plus it compiles to native code for the iPhone, so can be used for App Store builds and everything.
