Is this a proper/decent way to go about learning to program?

** Jump to the last paragraph if you don't feel like reading all of this

First, my experience with programming: I'm finishing up an Introduction to C course in college. I haven't really done any programming beyond what I've done in this class. I've (probably poorly) hacked out programs in this class, up to a couple hundred lines. We've covered topics up through pointers and structs (I'm terrible at anything involving pointers lol). I'm graduating soon so this will probably be the only CS class I take.

I feel like I have a better grasp now of what programming actually entails and I can finally look at other people's programs/apps/etc. and somewhat understand what is going on. Like I understand the purpose behind why certain constructs are used, whereas before it seemed like magic to me. Or just plain out unreadable since I didn't know any of the basic syntax.

So to my question finally: Do I have enough of a background to jump in somewhere and start creating some basic stuff? For instance, could I jump into the Objective C track and be able to follow along? I plan on redoing a lot of the problems in my class' book in Objective C. Also, is the big hurdle the platform/ecosystem that you're developing for and not necessarily the language? Ie. Is being a good googler enough to get started with the basic knowledge that I have?

Cliff notes: Have 1 CS class under my belt, do I know enough now to jump in somewhere using this website as a starting point, start to create some basic stuff, and use google if I get stuck (which will be a lot)? Thanks.
