Hey guys,
I just finished with Amit's 'Build a Simple iPhone App' course, and its totally the hardest thing I've ever learned, but it was so awesome. The 'extra credit' was to build an app along the same lines with quotes, and I had a free afternoon to kill. I don't have an iOS Dev Membership so I can't run it on my own device, which makes me sad. But you guys can check it out in the simulator! I'm happy with how it turned out.
Here it is: http://d.pr/f/5vMD
Thanks Treehouse for providing this awesome content for me to just keep learning, you guys are awesome.

Treehouse Guest TeacherExcellent work Matthew Mascioni. There's nothing better than practicing to learn and absorb the language, constructs and nuances of the tools / SDK. Like the design of it too. Great job!
Thought I'd post a screenshot for the rest to see:

20,444 PointsHi Elaine,
Thanks for the kind words! I'm not as knowledgeable as Amit by any stretch, but I think I fixed your problem. The working version can be accessed here.
Basically, it looks like a simple problem with your array of jokes. (nice jokes, by the way) You created a jokesArray property in your ViewController.h file, already defining it as an NSArray. Therefore, you shouldn't have to declare it as an NSArray again in your ViewController.m file (once you've synthesized the property, adding the getter/setter methods) So, instead of calling NSArray jokesArray in the viewDidLoad method, we can simply call self.jokesArray, and then allocate, initialize and add objects to it.
Hope this helps!
