Hi Team Treehouse!
I have gone through most of your videos and felt like I have learned a ton. This is a great way to learn! One comment/question I had though was regarding the iPhone development courses. I have been following along OK but I have no objective C background so I was wondering if you had thought about doing any introductory objective C lessons. The iPhone courses were marked as beginner but not having any objective C background, I found myself a little lost a few times.
Thanks! -Kelley

Treehouse TeacherHi Kelley,
We used to have some Objective-C language training in place, but unfortunately it became too outdated. iOS moves very quickly!
The good news is, we're going to be working on a new version of Objective-C Foundations in the first half of 2013.
I've pinged Amit so that he can take a look at your question; he might have a better answer for you than me. :)

33,450 PointsOh great, I look forward to the new lessons in 2013!
I agree with you Kelley, I was having some trouble as well. I decided to try the same book Amit recommend: "Programming Objective C" I'm a couple chapters in already and feel like I have a much better understanding.
Good Luck!
P.S. make sure you get the latest edition!
