Should I take IOS- Objective C and Web Design/Front-end at the same time?

I plan to be a dynamic programmer with knowledge of Web and Mobile.

I am about to start the front-end track and I also want to learn IOS as well.

Should I do the front-end and back-end track before moving into mobile apps or is it feasible to do both tracks at the same time?

I want to know what y'all think, is it worth doing or overwhelming to do both at same time?

For sure…. What I am looking to do is combine my marketing background with what I learn from all these tracks.

I am really interested in Mobile Apps but there might be some fundamental principles from the web design tracks (web design, front-end, and back-end) and then get into the mobile apps realm.

That's why I'm trying to work fast but I also have to be efficient

I think it depends how much time you have on your hands. That said, it's a recurring theme for me to hear that the best people hyper-focus on a certain subject, master it, then move onto the next subject.

Personally if I were in your shoes I would focus on one track, get some completed projects under your belt, then move on to the next track.

That's my opinion anyway, hope that helps.

If that's what the best people do, then by all means that's what I will do.

Thanks man

Yeah, I went through a junior sysadmin "bootcamp" if you will, and the guy who had been mentoring students for the last 20 years noted that the most successful people he'd seen advance through the course used this strategy. It's just an opinion though.

Good luck!
