Hey tristan,

I did the course (but then they updated it so currently it says I haven't) and I can say that treehouse is an awesome site to learn but the only that they don't touch on much which is very important is being able to pursue your own projects and map them out. I've made a couple projects on my own and in the beginning i struggled with this part but with other tutorials ( ray wonderlich http://www.raywenderlich.com/ who is awesome) I was able to pursue my own development path. so the only thing that will take some work once you finish treehouse is to be able to simply google something you want in your app and be able to implement it.

Happy hacking, Kai.

No I did more after treehouse, treehouse gets a good foundation but you kind of got to get multiple perspectives and styles of developing in order to find your style. other resources that helped me are podcasts, websites, and most of all experience. If you want, another fun thing is to pick apart projects, if you want to pick apart the project that I started you can go to my profile page and click on the git repository called 'capture', it's a photo app that uses cameras, image filters, action sheets, share sheet and other cool stuff. anyways to build that I basically said 'hey this would be cool to add' then googled how to add it and bit by bit I made an app.

so yes you must find other resources besides treehouse not because treehouse is bad but because it's dang near impossible for them to cover every thing you'll need for the rest of your iOS career.

Best, Kai.

I stopped the track about 2/3 of the way through, and I'm working on a real app now. Before this, I had experience with C++ but no Objective C or app-building experience. I learned a lot from the course, and it covers a variety of features for different kinds of apps. I definitely recommend building the apps in the videos for yourself and doing all the challenges. Besides that, just learning to read the apple documentation will be pretty helpful.

The app I'm working on now uses the new WebKit API, so I've been watching the Apple WWDC videos which are pretty helpful and looking at their source code on GitHub.

Learning a new language probably feels like a lot, but I was actually surprised by how easy it is to make apps. I expected it to be much more difficult, and overall, I think this course provides a lot of practice while also teaching you something new in each video.

Did any of you guys do extra studying on Objective-c or were the treehouse courses good enough?

Thanks for the comment Jay. I really appreciate it. As far as further studying, did you study Objective-c more or how to create something? Also, I have no object oriented programming experience. Should I go learn something else before starting this course?
