Courses Plus Student 614 Pointsis this the order that i should start ??
Ilja Daderko
8,953 PointsIf you are into web development than yes (at least I'd start like this) Or you can go do one of the iOS or Android Development tracks.

Courses Plus Student 614 Pointsthanks lija , ............ christian did you begin with rails development? ill be even more open with you ..im living in the middle east and im moving back to California soon , i want to get into the high tech ..and i wanted to know whats on high demand the most ?? any clue buddy?
Christian Block
5,848 PointsWhere will you be in California? I live in Berkeley, which is near San Francisco. There is a lot of demand out here for... virtually everything. It's all a matter of enjoying what you do, learning it well, and networking. Stefan gave some great advice. Figure out what you will enjoy, and master that! I spent two hours fixing code I broke today (you can imagine the frustration) and I still have it in me to do more after a break. Find something that you can be as dedicated to.

10,065 PointsHi Iyad,
You have an extremely valid question here. You have to sit down and think for which kind of devices would like to develop. Really and truly, you have to think about what excites you the most, because in reality you will spend a significant amount of time trying to figure out code, and asking the dreaded question: "Why is this not working?" or "Why do I have this error?". A good course to start with in this regard is : http://teamtreehouse.com/library/careers-foundations
This will help you narrow down your choices, then you should go to the 'Tracks' section which is available at http://teamtreehouse.com/tracks ,where you would be able to take another step forward and follow down the path that you have decided to venture on be it Ruby, Mobile, Web or maybe even the Business track.
Welcome to Treehouse and I wish you the best of luck for your adventure!
