1,147 PointsHow to become fluent in objective c?
I've been studying Objective C for a while now. I already know the basics like scroll views, tab bars, table views, etc. but complex functions like recording audio, or scanning QR codes is hard. I read Apple's documentation but still need to refer to Stackoverflow for practically every error. I want to be able to program fluently, I will obviously run into errors, but I want to be able to build any function without needing to look up tutorials. Any advice? Btw: I already watched the tutorials on Tree house which was helpful

16,593 PointsYou're already doing a lot to get to that point. With any language, especially the more advanced ones, you are going to be using references a lot. Being able to read through the documentation and understand it is critical to becoming a solid programmer.
I know very few programmers who can just hammer out code without having to reference anything, unless they are working on something they have done before that isn't new or cutting edge. I'd say you are doing a pretty good job of working towards your goal simply by knowing where to go to get the information and making sense of it.
