Help?

I can see Mr. Turner is very comfortable with objective-c, excellent instruction. However, coming from the C track, it seems like the learning curve is quite steep. Is there anything TreeHouse would recommend before beginning the Object Oriented Side? Please and thanks.

I went over to Lynda.com and paid for a month and went over their intro to objective C programming and then came back and it was a breeze.

I was having the exact same problem as you are having right now. I would recommend Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (2nd Edition). Instead of a crash course into Objective-C (Treehouse), this book provides a soft and steady introduction to the language. Treehouse is an incredible site, but you can't rely on it solely. What has worked for me the most has been combining the two.
