The next step depends on your abilities:
  • Do you have any experience in the C language?
  • Do you have any experience in TUI programming?
  • Do you have any experience in GUI programming?

(Don't forget C++)

Also you'll need DS, and a flashcart of some type (and possibly also some flash media, if the particular flashcart doesn't have any built in)

I think the next step would be to read tutorials on DS programming.

whats the DS equivalent for tonc?

TONC is relevant for DS too - all the 2D hardware is almost identical to the GBA.

Avoid anything which uses bat files or #include for large arrays.
