Best tracks to learn how to make a simple social networking sight???

Hey Guys, i'm a big newbie but my end goal is to create a social media website like twitter also, to be able to create simple 2 games for IOS and Android. Which tracks and courses should i take to learn these skills?

Are you familiar with the WordPress plugin, Buddypress?

No, whats that?

Well, its byline is 'Social Networking in a Box.' So if you want to build a social network pretty easily, it'll have a lot of functionality to get you started. I guess the take away here for you is that WordPress would be useful to learn and BuddyPress to investigate.

Thanks a lot!

Welcome to Treehouse!

Treehouse offers tracks for Android development here, iOS track, and a Ruby on Rails track. In the Library for Ruby courses there are courses on building a site similar to Facebook which, with some ingenuity, I am sure could be molded towards a Twitter-esque site.

Happy coding,

Ken
