Hello Joseph,

I would recommend starting with the “Become a Mobile Developer” track (http://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/become-a-mobile-developer). This will give you a solid understanding of programming fundamentals and quickly get you started by building an app.

In this track is a project called “Build a Blog Reader iPhone App” (http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-blog-reader-iphone-app-2 ). This is the project that will teach you, among many topics, how to interact with web services, store parsed data and display web pages in your app.

I hope this helps in giving you a starting point to your success! Best of luck.

Much appreciated. Thanks!

Also check out Build a Self-Destructing Message App which shows an easy way using Parse.com to create a custom backend for an app (the backend is what stores all the news items, images, etc.).

I truly appreciate your feedback. Thanks you!
