Switching to app development?

What could go wrong? You can also do them side by side! Web development and app development are extremely different so you're likely not to get them confused.

Hi Nicholas,

Web development requires many different disciplines. It will take time, practice, curiosity and patience - patience with yourself.

Front End technologies are generally easier to learn and offer more instant gratification because visual elements respond to your code changes. Once you have a handle on HTML / CSS / JavaScript | jQuery, then start figuring out what this Back End stuff means - pretty much managing the data to and from the client and a database. Along the way, you'll pick up concepts like MVC, Agile, and other workflow patterns that will help remove frustrating hurdles.

When at the end of a course or badge, if you see Extra Credit or if they talk about project ideas to work on your own, do them. Getting through courses fast is meaningless if you can't retain and apply the knowledge.

Kind Regards

One of the great things about Treehouse is the ability to "jump around" in the Library and sample courses. If you think that native app development might be more your speed, take a course and see. If you like it, switch tracks (you can always return to the Web Development track later without loosing your progress).

Just my thoughts.
