However if you can't get above Xcode 3.x I would just hold off. There have been significant changes to the objective-c language itself since the days of Xcode 3.x. However most of the changes from Xcode 4.6 to 5 have to do with the libraries and frameworks that Apple provides you.

12,216 PointsI haven't done the 'Objective-C Basics' course but I doubt there is anything in the basics course that isn't in 4.6. Like I said, most of the changes you get with 5.1 are to frameworks. Let's put it this way, anything that I would try to teach someone as the basics can be done in 4.6. I'd say, yes, start the Basics course with 4.6, wait to do the project videos until you have 5.1.
