Hey Guys,
I am sure you have seen this question a million times on these forums, but... I am very new programming and I am ready to dive in full force with no prior programming knowledge. My goal is to learn how to fluently program iOS applications in Xcode first, and possibly some Android applications later on. I don't believe I can start out in the iOS section of my classes without some knowledge of the program language. So, where should I begin based on your experiences, or is the iOS area basic enough for me?
Thanks In Advance, Taylor

I would recommend starting out and developing the Smells Like Bakin website here with Nick, making it mobile with Allison, and adding interactivity with Andrew. I found that learning html and css first were really helpful. It also gives you a good feel on how Treehouse teaches things.
If you just want to learn iOS, I would look at introduction to programming, and then coding the "Crystal Ball" app.
I hope you enjoy Treehouse!

Treehouse Teacher@Taylor, welcome! We address this question of where to start with something called Learning Adventures. In your case, I'd recommend the Become a Mobile Developer or Learn to Build iPhone Apps adventures. The intro iOS and Android projects are aimed at people with little to no programming experience. I teach Android, by the way.
