What should I do next after iOS track?

I am currently in the middle of the iOS track and I plan to do the Swift course right after. I know Treehouse is constantly adding new courses and growing their library and tracks... but it won't take me long to to finish the iOS courses here and I'm wondering where I should go from there?

I want to plan ahead a little bit and have a strategy for myself in continuing my iOS development education. Not to cross promote, but as my knowledge level by the end of the course, should I be looking at something like Big Nerd Ranch or any other more advanced, iOS centric, training? I prefer the hands on interaction rather than just reading through a book.

I'm interested to hear anyone's thoughts and/or experiences having completed the iOS track.

After completing the ios track you should go and develop your first app. If something is unclear, try to find an answer in the docs, on stackoverflow, or come back and repeat some classes here. then develop another app, and another.

once you have the basic knowledge, it's best to learn from "real-world problems", and working on your own app will give you another motivational boost.

Thanks Roger. That's good advice. I do have an app in mind that I'm planning along the way and intend to develop out. So that's good news. I appreciate the feedback.

I agree with roger, I think they give you enough info to start building apps.

In my opinion teamtreehouse takes you far enough to get you reading advanced material. Big nerd ranch would only repeat what you have learned.
